Time Bomb

An upbeat/darkish mood song

 You sit there ticking like a time bomb

As everyone watches you with bated breath

Moving oh so cautiously as to never ever set you off

You’re so fragile, so unstable, you’re just such a nervous wreck

 

Chorus:

Waiting like a time bomb 

Tick, tick, tick

Push your buttons and you’ll self destruct

Click, click, click

 

Like a time bomb

Like, like a time bomb

10 seconds ‘til you self destruct...

 

Bridge:

Lately you’ve changed

I can see it in your eyes

You’ve become the very thing

That you used to despise

 

You’re so full of hatred 

So full of rage

You’re oh so confused

Alone, and afraid

 

You hoped the day would never come

When you would become this

When you’d let your emotions take control of you

You’re a time bomb

Tick, tick, tick

 

Chorus:

Waiting like a time bomb

Tick, tick, tick

Push your buttons and you’ll self destruct

Click, click, click

 

Like a time bomb

Like, like a time bomb

10 seconds ‘til you self destruct...

 

Bridge:

Everyone has left you

No one wants to see you when you act this way

Everyone’s afraid of you

You’ve driven everyone you love away

 

 

 

Because you’ve become controlling

Your edgy, tempermental, hanging on by a thread

You’ve let the darkness in your life take over

Controlled by the little voices in your head

 

Chorus:

You’re waiting like a time bomb 

Tick, tick, tick

Push your buttons and you’ll self destruct

Click, click, click

 

Like a time bomb, time bomb

yeah

Just like a time bomb, time bomb

You’re like a, like a

Like, like a Time bomb

The individual in this piece needs an anger management class! Wait, maybe two! LOL.. All kidding aside, this is a well written piece bringing up a very important subject, allowing the reader to think about why it is they are alone if they suffer from an extraordinary amount of anger.

This part is extremely well said and part of me wants to ask... Whatcha gonna do about it?

Because you've become controlling
Your edgy, tempermental, hanging on by a thread
You've let the darkness in your life take over
Controlled by the little voices in your head

Great ink! :)

-"Lately you've changed
