lyrics

You can’t seem to sit still
Everywhere you turn
There’s another chase for satisfaction
You can’t seem to slow down
Everything you see
Is a steady pace of more distraction
This is the age of hype and overload
You hit the boiling point ready to explode

You’re a time bomb
Ticking away
Just a time bomb
Counting down to your own fate
Who knows how soon until you detonate

You won’t cover your tracks
Everywhere you go
There’s a bloody trail of realization
You won’t learn to relax
Everything you feel
Is a tragedy or a celebration
These are the days of strife and manic mode
You set the timer so no one can crack the code

You’re a time bomb
Ticking away
Just a time bomb
Pull the plug before its too late
Who knows how soon until you

Light the fuse
It’s the darkest bruise of them all
Is this an empty threat?
Will the world forget if you fall?
When you self destruct
Life is blowing up in your face
Is it suicide? Are you petrified of that place inside?
We all go there sometimes

You’re a time bomb
Ticking away
Just a time bomb
Reacting in a transient state
Who knows if you’ll ever really detonate
