Short Fuse Songtext
von Ten Foot Pole

The hits keep coming at me
Some bounce off but some get under my skin
Where they fester within
The lies cut me so deeply
I can′t ignore
The malicious intent
Escalation was meant

There was a time when I could smile
And let it go, cool off for a while
But now my fuse is short
Counting down
The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode

I'm past counting to ten
A short walk will not restore all my faith
Some things can′t be erased


There was a time when I could smile
And let it go, cool off
But now my fuse is short
Counting down
The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode
There was a time when I could try
Before the rage had built this high
But now my fuse is short
Counting down
The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode

I never wanted this
I never thought I could be this cold, this hard, this unforgiving
I never thought I would make this sound
That I could burn it down
That I could turn my back and walk away

There was a time when I could smile
And let it go, cool off for a while
But now my fuse is short
Counting down
The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode
There was a time when I could try
Before the rage had built this high
But now my fuse is short
Counting down
The bitterness has gone too far and threatens to explode
