Time-Bomb Ticking Away (Demo Version)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
Transfixed on a piss-yellow sky
Watch another tank of gasoline burn dry
Death stare from her cold, dead eyes
As she's chopping up the carrots, sharpening the 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Beat down like a slave to the grind
I got a rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Dark clouds bottled up inside
Every thought about the future leaves me terrified
I'm sick of the same old lines
"Why don't you talk about your feelings?" Who gives a shit about mine!?
Death grips cut a thorn on 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

[Chorus]
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, but 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

[Outro]
You're watching the time- (-bomb ticking away)
You're watching the time- (-bomb ticking away)
You're watching the time- (-bomb ticking away)

I won't spend another day
Locked up in a mental cage
Our world is a bitter place
I won't spend another day
Locked up in a mental cage
I know we can never change
