Timebomb Lyrics

[Intro: Chris Motionless]
Seconds are left on the countdown
Panic attack, the next normal in bloom
I let you go to get a grip on myself
But will you welcome me back as someone else?

[Verse 1: Chris Motionless]
All my life I've been a time bomb (Now time is running out)
Juxtapose me with my past self (A doubt I can't surmount)
It's survival of the restless (Survival of the restless)
So split the difference between us

[Pre-Chorus: Ricky Horror]
Looking back on the things that I've done
I should have known that I've always had more than enough
If tonight I fall asleep for the last timе
I want to be proud of the things that I've donе right

[Chorus: Chris Motionless]
If I could learn how to hold my head up
Maybe life wouldn't seem like it's passin' me by
If I could give myself what I give to you
Then maybe I'd find strength to hold on to

[Verse 2: Chris Motionless]
Consumed by what I can't undo
Here we go again
Beyond the barricade, rip the curtain away
And you'll see the mess I've made
Beyond the barricade, rip the flesh away
And you'll see it's me you saved
[Chorus: Ricky Horror and Chris Motionless]
If I could learn how to hold my head up
Maybe life wouldn't seem like it's passin' me by
If I could give myself what I give to you
Then maybe I'd find strength to hold on to
If I could learn how to hold my head up
Maybe life wouldn't seem like it's passin' me by
If I could give myself what I give to you
Then maybe I'd find faith to hold on to


[Breakdown: Chris Motionless]
Beyond the barricade, rip the flesh away
And you'll see the mess I've made
Beyond the barricade, wash the fear away
And you'll see it's me you saved
Beyond the barricade, we wash the fear away
And you'll see it's me you saved

[Chorus: Ricky Horror and Chris Motionless]
If I could learn how to hold my head up
Maybe life wouldn't seem like it's passin' me by
If I could give myself what I give to you
Then maybe I'd find strength to hold on to
If I could learn how to hold my head up
Maybe life wouldn't seem like it's passin' me by
If I could give myself what I give to you
Then maybe I'd find faith to hold on
Oh!
