Time-Bomb Ticking Away (Demo Version) (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Afraid Of Heights - 2016)

Watching the time-bomb ticking away.
Watching the time-bomb nobody cares till it's too late.
Watching the time-bomb ticking away.
Watching the time-bomb you better pray you're somewhere safe.

We're 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 up to 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 till 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 to 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 about 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 till 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-bomb ticking away (I won't spend another day)
You're watching the time-bomb ticking away (Locked up in a little cage)
You're watching the time-bomb ticking away (The world is a bitter place)
You're watching the time-bomb ticking away (I won't spend another day)
You're watching the time-bomb ticking away (Locked up in a little cage)
You're watching the time-bomb ticking away (I know we can never change)
