[Intro]
Oh the ground underneath my feet was cold
I wasn't looking for you
[Verse 1]
It was up ahead
An island like a silo in the emptiness
A quiet majesty in all its nothingness
Sipping on the sweet to taste the bitterness
Had it flown too fast?
The ringing in my ears to say that nothing lasts
The world is sick and tired of these apologists
Oh I'll be honest then
[Chorus]
Oh the ground underneath my feet was cold
I wasn't looking for you
Give me less than comfortable
'Cause I'm not looking at you
[Post-Chorus]
But I was always ready
But unready for what this might do
But I was always ready
But unready for what this might do
[Verse 2]
Took me further than I thought I'd go
I was listening to a voice I know
Said take me down another way
Going on and on and then you're feeling like you're nothing
Want to hold it in your hand but it is always on your shoulder I know
You're nowhere I have been
[Chorus]
Oh the ground underneath my feet was cold
I wasn't looking for you
Give me less than comfortable
'Cause I'm not looking at you
[Post-Chorus]
But I was always ready
But unready for what this might do
But I was always ready
But unready for what this might do
[Bridge]
You'll plan a hopeless escape
And like a head you will ache
Don't say you want to settle down
[Chorus]
Oh the ground underneath my feet was cold
I wasn't looking for you
Give me less than comfortable
'Cause I'm not looking at you
[Post-Chorus]
But I was always ready
But unready for what this might do
But I was always ready
But unready for what this might do

A June 2020 ABC.net article quotes Gordi saying:
Given everything that’s going on in the world, maybe right now new music is just a background noise to you. And that’s ok. Or maybe it’s something you can cling to, something that can give you hope.
