Time Bomb

When life is like a book 
that has a missing page
a mind is full of thoughts 
that torture you with age
What secrets do you find 
behind those lying eyes?

You are all alone
but never on your own 
with those voices in your head 
and horrors in your home
and do you hear those cries 
when you close those tired eyes?

And when you lift those floorboards 
in the middle of the night
don't you know that someday 
it is gonna come to light 
like a time bomb, 
the fuse is lit 
and the time is ticking away

A nation wonders why 
and a hundred camera men 
appalled at what they hear
await the moment when 
the secrets that you hide 
are no longer kept inside

Oh mother pray for me 
I can't sleep 'till you set me free 
from this time bomb

When life is like a book 
that has a missing page
The only thing to do 
is throw the book away
with those secrets that you hide 
behind those lying eyes
