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 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
I need someone to talk to
I'm a time bomb, baby

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 rattlin' of dem bones inside my closet keeps me up all night
The only way to shut them up is let them out into the light
The skeletons are laughing

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
I am out of control
Oh God, please diffuse 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

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
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
