It’s killing me I’ve got a problem that nobody seems to hear or see No matter what I do, I can’t escape that dreadful sound I just want to rip apart my skin to stop the countdown! I carry on as if I’m okay Wondering when I’m going to break Slamming keys on the piano until the timer reaches ZERO When I go into high alert I cannot breathe and my vision blurs I want to scream that it hurts but I need to warn you before I explode Stay back! Get inside ‘cause I’m feeling like a stick of dynamite! I might blow a fuse, but I don't want you to get blown sky high I don't care about myself when I explode! It’s you I want to protect by doing damage control! *(I don’t mean to be so corrosive)* I know it's scary, so get away from me! *(I don’t want you to get hurt so)* Just let me explode on my own I’m still alive like It never happened Thought I might die when my vision blackened There’s no battle scars to prove that I was in pain And now I fear you’ll never see me in the same way I wonder if this will ever change Am I doomed to push you away? It wasn’t you who put me in pain, lit the fuse and refused to stay I’ve gotten used to this degree of instability But it’s not fair to everybody else who has to deal with me! (Glitched Chorus) I don’t want to make you cry I don’t want to be what keeps you up at night I know I’m damaged. I’m always ripping at the seams I know I hurt you. What will it take for you to leave? You say I’m human, but that’s just so hard to believe Could I really be more than a Bomb that explodes at the slightest touch I try my best but it’s just too much I’ve lost control of myself, so tell me how on Earth do I ask for help? I don’t deserve someone’s gentle touch I know deep down that I’m just too much You’re far too kind when you say you’ll stay by my side when I explode! “Stay back!” (Bomb-defusing homoerotic guitar solo) Please stay by my side. I’m sick of feeling like I'm dynamite. I’m scared of myself and I’m scared you’re gonna have to watch me Die again! Will this cycle ever end? Tell me when, I won’t have to do damage control! (I don’t mean to be so corrosive) It hurts so much I- I think I have to scream! (I don’t want you to get hurt so) Please help me!!!
