NUCLEAR

An original song.

I thought it'd hurt when you dropped me.
Was prepared to scream,
But I just whistled the whole way down.
It wasn't until I hit the ground
That I lost all control
And you heard that deafening sound.
Four little letters:
G-O-N-E.
You know what you created:
B-O-M-B.
This timer's almost all ticked out,
This clock has run its course,
Attached to a weapon with no remorse.

Yeah we started with a bang!
You went out with a whimper.
Not sure what else to say,
I can't make it any simpler.
You tried so hard to contain me
But I've already gone nuclear.
Don't want to hear you cry
'Cuz of the fallout you invited.

I can sense your skin's starting to crawl,
Not long 'fore it's bubbling up.
Boils atop your flawless flesh,
No matter how much your eyes start to burn
There's no stopping those tears.
Was this missile backfiring
Your secret hope
Or the realization of your greatest fears?
What pain feels stronger,
The initial blast or the aftermath?
It's an unfair world and you just
Placed every last man in my warpath.

Yeah we started with a bang!
You went out with a whimper.
Not sure what else to say,
I can't make it any simpler.
You tried so hard to contain me
But I've already gone nuclear.
Don't want to hear you cry
'Cuz of the fallout you invited.

Don't blame me for the devastation!
You're the one that armed me.
Loaded me up with ammunition!
Then sent me off to the sea.
Pressed the detonator remotely!
But all that did was set me free.

Yeah we started with a bang!
You went out with a whimper.
Not sure what else to say,
I can't make it any simpler.
You tried so hard to contain me
But I've already gone nuclear.
Don't want to hear you cry
'Cuz of the fallout you invited.
