Time Bomb (ASCDI) Songtext
von The Dismemberment Plan

Well, I
I am a time bomb, and I
I lay forgotten at the bottom of your heart
I′m fine
Ticking away the hours til' I 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 landmine, 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


Well, I
I am a tarpit, 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 thinnest 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 beyond your newest scene, so fine
Moving in inches now, a′crawling, a'cutting, a′cleaving
Like a knife

Well, I
I am a time bomb, and I
I only live in that one moment in which you die
And it's 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 for anyone to see
A cry for help
Yeah, a warning to stay away
A burning, a blinding, a bleaching a death mask white
Yeah
