Ticking time bomb

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.

⸻

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.

⸻

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.

⸻

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.

⸻

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.

⸻

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.

⸻

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.

⸻

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.
