Live your borrowed time - live your numbered lives
Time is my cage - separates me from my rage
Distract me from pain - Disconnect my chains
Images I paint ignite the fuse of my restraint

A bomb went off - it's name was me
And all things were in pieces
And in a blast I broke the cast
Of all the smiley faces
I was free - It went my way
All casualties - It was a day to remember

Unforgotten days - Big news come my way
Searching for release - searching for a sense of peace
Said who's to blame - The watchtower chimes again
Giving me a sign - Giving me a sense of time

A bomb went off - it's name was me
And all things were in pieces
And in a blast I broke the cast
Of all the smiley faces
I was free - It went my way
All casualties - It was a day to remember

Getting off at exit 9, like I do every time
Need to take myself to 10, otherwise I'm here again

Big news come my way - Faced the hurricane
The wind exposed my bones - My skin couldn't hold me in
Insides on the plate - eat my bitter cake
Feeling like the icing's gonna break

A bomb went off - it's name was me
And all things were in pieces
And in a blast I broke the cast
Of all the smiley faces
I was freed by all I'd done
Apologies to no one

Since I stopped sleeping, life has been one long day to remember.
