"Time-Bomb Ticking Away" lyrics

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares
'Til it's too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray
You're somewhere safe

Where transfixed on a pendulum sky
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
A death stare from a cold, dead eye
As you're chopping up the carrot
Sharpening their knives
Don't blink, keep your eyes on the prize
While you rip me into pieces
Cut me down to size
Don't dare, try to keep it inside
Cause the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry

Just when you thought you've seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares
'Til it's too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray
You're somewhere safe

Beat up, put the slate go the grind
Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Tight cuffs only hold me tight
Every thought about the future
Leaves me terrified
I'm sick of the same old lies
"Why don't you talk about your feelings?"
Who gives a shit 'bout mine?
Death grips got a hold of my side
Cause the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry

Just when you thought you've seen it all
A storm awaits behind the door
Disgruntled right down to the core
We still go on

Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares
'Til it's too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray
You're somewhere safe

Oh we got a time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away

You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
Everybody needs a little help
When the world is blind
You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry

You're watching the time (bomb ticking away)
You're watching the time (bomb ticking away)
You're watching the time (bomb ticking away)
You're watching the time
(Our world's got another day)
You're watching the time
(Locked up in a little cage)
You're watching the time
(This world is a bitter place)
You're watching the time
(Our world's got another day)
You're watching the time
(Locked up in a little cage)
You're watching the time
(This world is a bitter place)
