Time Bomb
The Dismemberment Plan
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 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
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
I'm crawling, I'm cutting
I'm cleaving, like a knife
Well I, I am a time bomb
And I only live in that one moment
In which you die
Its 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
Out for anyone to see
A cry for help, yeah
A warning to stay away
The burning, the blinding
The reaching in darkness
Why? Yeah
