Bombs Away

It's not hard learn to love the bomb

When it ain't right above your head

Hear a cartoon falling noise increasing in pitch

Shadow's getting bigger like everywhere

There's a big red X right in front me

And I think I could make it out and the sirens say

"You'll end up in a ditch

If you don't get the hell out of there and make mommy proud"

So, the hell out of there and make mommy proud

And it said "bombs away" before I begged for it to work me to the bone

And, whatever is left of me can't not look at my phone

And satisfy a craving for deeper understanding

Why do I feel so alone?

Sometimes I wish I was in the dark

I could've bought in to the lie

Made it in some miraculous turn of events, earned 6 figures and died

I could've given you all that you're missing now

I wouldn't let the world decide whether you truly deserve happiness

Whether things are gonna be alright

So, get the hell outta there and make mommy proud

And it said "bombs away" before I begged for it to work me to the bone

And, whatever is left of me can't not look at my phone

And satisfy a craving for deeper understanding

Why do I feel so alone?

It's been 12 years since I first saw my father cry

In the absence of a clear-cut explanation or a reason why

Like some fucking force of nature

A certain recalibration of all things expendable
