I’m like a ticking time bomb, about to blow,
Pressure building deep inside, don’t even know.
Tried to keep it cool, tried to stay composed,
But every little push, man, it overloads.
I breathe in deep, try to let it slide,
But there’s thunder and lightning buried inside.
Every word, every glare, every honking tone,
Feels like gasoline poured on my soul.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose control again,
But they poke the fire under my skin.
Lord, help me find some peace within,
‘Cause this war in me’s too loud to win.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m like a ticking time bomb, ready to ignite,
Holding back the storm with all my might.
Got this rage, this pain I can’t let show,
Why’s it so hard to let it go?
Every word cuts deep, every glance a spark,
Feels like the dark is lighting up my heart.
Tick, tick, tick — I’m losing hold,
Lord, take my heart before it explodes.
Show me peace, guide me through this night,
Calm this fire, turn my wrongs to right.
⸻
[Verse 2]
People test my patience every day,
Cut me off, talk down, throw shade my way.
I try to pray, I try to breathe,
But it’s like these demons won’t let me leave.
I’m caught between the calm and the flame,
A man of faith, but I still feel the same.
Every second feels like I could break,
God, please stop this earthquake.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna snap, don’t wanna fight,
Just wanna see through the fog tonight.
Help me tame what’s burning inside,
Before my soul turns black and white.
⸻
[Chorus]
I’m like a ticking time bomb, ready to ignite,
Holding back the storm with all my might.
Got this rage, this pain I can’t let show,
Why’s it so hard to let it go?
Every word cuts deep, every glance a spark,
Feels like the dark is lighting up my heart.
Tick, tick, tick — I’m losing hold,
Lord, take my heart before it explodes.
Show me peace, guide me through this night,
Calm this fire, turn my wrongs to right.
⸻
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s the past that’s haunting me,
Maybe it’s the hurt I still can’t see.
But I don’t wanna be this way,
Lord, teach me to walk away.
Give me strength when I’m about to break,
Grace enough for my own mistakes.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
I’m like a ticking time bomb, ready to ignite,
But You calm my storm, You bring me light.
Take this rage, this pain I know,
Help me breathe and let it go.
Every word cuts deep, every glance a spark,
Feels like the dark is lighting up my heart.
Tick, tick, tick — I’m in Your hold,
You’re the only peace that soothes my soul.
Show me mercy, guide me through the night,
Calm this fire, turn my wrongs to right.
