“Time Bomb” by The Dismemberment Plan
Well I…
I am a time bomb, and I…
I lay forgotten at the bottom of your heart…
I’m fine,
ticking away the hours to I blow your world apart
I…
I am a poison, and I…
I am still coursing through your bloodstream like a ghost,
like wine,
gathering vintage for the day I hurt the most
I…
I am a land mine, and I…
I lay on the soil burned out by battles you thought you’d won
I’ve got time,
to wait for the footsteps,
of a memory that’s on the run
Well I…
I am a tar pit, and I…
I swell like a living thing,
all at the slightest touch
A black grime,
Swallowing everything
A cold and timeless clutch
I…
Well I am a trip wire, and I…
I’m stretching across the road you’re barreling down tonight
A thinish twine,
waiting to be released right beyond your sight
I…
Well I am a fault line and I…
I’m pulling apart the ground that lay beneath your newest seed,
so fine,
I’m moving in inches now
A crawling, a cutting, a cleaning,
like a knife
Well I…
I am a time bomb, and I…
I only live in that one moment in which you die
It’s not right
It’s not what I wanted then,
but you know and I know, there’s no going back
I…
I am a lost soul, and I…
I send out a sickened light for anyone to see
A cry for help,
a warning to stay away
The burning, the blinding, the bleaching,
a death masked white
