Self Destruct
Bad decisions are made...
Clock starts ticking
Hope begins to fade...
Clock still ticking
Love ones are ignored...
Clock still ticking
Even those you adored...
Clock still ticking
You look for others pity...
Clock still ticking
There’s none left in this city...
Clock still ticking
You continue without asking why...
Clock still ticking
Things would turn around if you try...
Clock still ticking
You ignore good advice...
Clock still ticking
Cling to anyone who is nice...
Clock still ticking
Upset with the consequences that flowed...
Clock stops ticking
And now....
You explode
