that thing i never told you
has been eating away at my head
thethings i could never show you
made me go insane
but i thought i could fendit off
all by myself
just this once
and this time i was wrong
itwasn't the eraseable sadness
like so many times before
just a newlydeveloped anger
that couldn't be tamed
couldn't be held in longer than ithad
i've been a bomb
and i've been tick, tick, ticking away
forweeks
for months
for my entire life
now my time is up
come and watchthe show
as i explode.
