It takes a lot to learn when to roll the dice
When your fiction isn't firm you need an alibi
Under the gaussian blur of a normal life
You start to crack in the places where the light shines
Stealing every moment of night
We were always numb
Screaming just to feel like we're alive
Tears of a ticking time bomb
Mamma hold your baby real tight
Come one day they might go boom, boom
You fake a lot to earn
The love that gets you by
Like a poisonous perm
You curling up to die
Dressed up in restless like fur
In the cold, cold night
You're breaking out from the braces
That hold you upright
Stealing every moment of night
We were always numb
Screaming just to feel like we're alive
Tears of a ticking time bomb
Mamma hold your baby real tight
Come one day they might go boom, boom
And in a moment I saw
Just like a beautiful swan
It was the end of the world
Just a flash and we're gone
Stealing every moment of night
We were always numb
Screaming just to feel like we're alive
Tears of a ticking time bomb
Mamma hold your baby real tight
Come one day they might go boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
