Time Bomb
Twist the truth
in what I say
Tick ,tick it is a matter of time
Hiding the truth
With each movement tick ,tick
Getting closer
to the final countdown
Tick ,tick the pressure
It is building
Getting closer
to the truth tick, tick
Saved by the bell
I did not explode
Biting my tongue
words held at bay
You would not like
what I have to say
It would strip
you to the bare bone
Your ugly lies
When the ticking stops
Nasty words,
nasty deeds
Will have nasty
consequences
I hold my tongue
as its not me
Your coloured coded lies
they hurt deep
Hacking away at my brain
Your ugly words
releasing the pressure
The release of you
So that I do not explode
I never dropped
the bombshell
You did
All the time
I was sitting
on a time bomb
I sat and watched you
Explode into lies
Only now
I found the truth
