"TIME BOMB"
"For God will bring every deed into judgement, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." - Ecclesiastes 12:14
"But everything exposed by the light becomes visible." - Ephesians 5:13
There's something in the shadows and I fear it's got a hold on me
A black and shapeless something at the edge of everything I see
I feel it closing in on me
I'm a time bomb, baby

A well of secret shame is buried deep inside my crooked heart
It's quiet on the surface but inside it's tearing me apart
Alright, I need someone to talk to
I'm a time bomb, baby

(Chorus):
I'm a time bomb, baby, and I'm running out of time
This mad parade of secrets is just about to blow my mind

The rattling of dem bones inside my closet keeps me up all night
The only way to shut them us is let them out into the light
The skeletons are laughing
(Repeat chorus)
I am out of control
Oh God, please defuse my soul

I lie awake in this bed I've made
Conscious of the fact that every piper gets paid
Well a man's gonna reap what he sows
If that's true, then I've got a reapin' coming
And it's long overdue
(Repeat chorus)
I'm a time bomb, baby, and I'm running out of time
This mad parade of secrets is just about to blow my
Blow my mind away
I'm a time bomb, baby, I'm a time bomb, baby
I'm a time bomb, baby, I'm a time bomb, baby
You dropped a bomb on me...
