David Wilcox - When You're Ready lyrics

from What You Whispered

..............................................



You say you get so haunted by these memories

Well of course there must be plenty that you'd just as soon forget

Here's a chance to wash away your history

We haven't tried this on civilians yet

But you'll have to take that risk to get this chance at riches

And how much could it be worth to keep those same bad dreams

Just climb up on the table and let me throw the switches

Its really a remarkable machine

And the switch is by your head



And when its done, you won't know how you got here

But you could write yourself a letter, yes you'll still know how to read

Just draw yourself a map to where you're living

And put a label on each one of your keys

When your friends will try to tease you, you just won't remember

What a fool your were in high school over some old flame

Just climb up on the table I can quench the ember

The past will never bother you again

And the switch is by your head when you're ready



Truth be told, this big machine does nothing

There's a change that brings a difference into all these people's lives

To free them from the past that was their prison

What gives them passage is just the fact that they decide

You see this big machine is harmless, it just scares them shitless

Its louder than a spaceship and the lights are strange

They climb up on the table and I throw the switches

And it helps them to believe that they can change

And the switch is by your head when you're ready
