THE DISMEMBERMENT PLAN

Well I am a time bomb
I lay forgotten at the bottom of your heart
I'm fine
Ticking away the hours till I blow your world apart

I am a poison
And I am still coursing through your bloodstream like a ghost
Like wine gathering vintage till the day I hurt the most

I am a land mine
And I lay under soil burned out by battles you thought you'd won
I've got time to wait for the footsteps of a memory that's on
the run

Well I am a tar pit
And I swell like a living thing, oh, at the slightest touch
A black grime swallowing everything in a cold and timeless clutch

I am a trip wire
I'm stretching across the road you're barreling down tonight
The thinnest twine, waiting to be released
Right beyond your sight

I am a fault line
And I'm pulling apart the ground that lay beneath your newest scene
So fine
Moving in inches now, a'crawling, a'cutting, a'cleaving, like a knife.

I am a time bomb
I only live in that one moment in which you die
It's not right
It's not what I wanted then
But you know and I know there's no going back

I am a lost soul
And I send out a sickened light for anyone to see
A cry for help, yeah, a warning to stay away
A burning, a blinding, a bleaching, a death mask white
