There is still a place for you in my ticker
Don't let it palpitate before the light flickers
I am set to go off
I'm about to go off
I release some steam
My blood gets thicker
My heart's a suicide bomb
My heart's a suicide bomb
One last beat is a beat too long
My heart's a suicide bomb
There is not a place for you in my ticker
Don't make me pay your debts
Don't let me get sicker
I am set to go off
I'm about to go off
I coagulate
My blood gets thicker
My heart's a suicide bomb
My heart's a suicide bomb
One last beat is a beat too long
My heart's a suicide bomb
If I had known my time was running out
I would have shone
I wouldn't cast my doubts
But in my chest my organs feel so tight
I might explode any second now
My heart's a suicide bomb
My heart's a suicide bomb
One last beat is a beat too long
My heart's a suicide bomb
I'm not well like I used to be
The decline of my health from all the risks I take...
I can't explain what I'm doing or what I say
You know I love to exaggerate
This is how I communicate
So please just try and listen
Not to what's been done
But how these feelings sound right now
And know that we're forgiven
Lose focus intermittently
Come back to life eventually
It's the end of new beginnings
Stranger than a familiar place
You know one day we'll see their face
And god knows they'll prove us wrong
So please just try and listen
Not to what's been done
But how these feelings sound right now
And know that we're forgiven
When their laughter sings
Remind me I'm still born
I have gone the wrong way
Now my words are all false
And I dread going back
To the place where I had to make a choice
Of what should be the chosen path
The road is long and the signs along the way
Advertise all my lies
If I go back
I will have to relive every moment in this life
So I've endured to meet everyone I've harmed
Recrossed every bridge I have burned
And I continue with this path leading me
To a future I can't see
The road is long and the signs along the way
Advertise all my lies
If I go back
I will have to relive every moment in this life
I live my life in wasted time
And I'm too numb to ever mind
The useless drugs, information, lost friendships, and careers
The road is long and the signs along the way
Advertise all my lies
If I go back
I will have to relive every moment in this life
Dissent, the mother of ascent
Oh, I can't take any more of this
These men don't make me feel at home
We are to blame
For the hearts broken, our eyes sunken
Their lives mean nothing
And we can't seem to take any action against them
We must resent them
We can't elect them
'Cause they won't represent us on their hill
Allegiance to the big business
Oh, I can't buy any more of your shit
These things, they make us drop our bombs
We are to blame
For the kids stolen, the mind controlling,
Their lives mean nothing
And we can't seem to take any action against them
Their fraud elections of false pretenses
That don't represent us on their hill
I can't be held responsible for the killed
And I can't be held responsible for the way you kill us
