"They said I couldn't do it. They said 'you're crazy, you're stupid, you can't build a bomb out of scrap and dreams.'"
"They were right about the crazy part. The stupid part? We'll see."

[VERSE 1]
Found a horseshoe. Rusted. Bent.
Figured it owed me something. A dent
In the universe. A bang. A boom.
Something to wake up the quiet tomb
Of this dustball planet. This dead-end rock.
Found some nails. Found some lock
From a chest someone forgot.
Found some fuel. Found a thought.
The thought was simple: MAKE IT BIG.
The thought was simple: PULL THE TRIG.
The thought was simple: WATCH IT BURN.
The thought was simple: NEVER RETURN.

[HOOK]
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! SCRAP AND STEEL!
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! THIS IS WHAT I FEEL!
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! COUNT IT DOWN!
FOUR. THREE. TWO. ONE.
BOOM TOWN.

[VERSE 2]
Wrapped it in wire. Old and mean.
Added a spring from a broken machine.
Added a timer from a clock I stole
From a settlement I left a hole
In. They won't miss it. They won't care.
They got plenty of time. They got air.
I got a bomb. I got a dream.
I got a scream that's gonna tear
Through the quiet. Through the dust.
Through the people who don't trust
A man with a box and a smile that says
"I MADE THIS FOR YOU." I MADE THIS FOR US.

[BRIDGE]
"You ever build something with your hands? Something that could end a life? Something that could make a hole in the world where there wasn't one before?"
"It's beautiful. It's the most honest thing I've ever made. No lies. No promises. Just… a promise."

[VERSE 3]
Named her "Pandora's Little Sister."
She's smaller. Meaner. Faster. Twisted.
She don't open vaults. She opens chests.
She don't ask questions. She don't take rests.
She just sits there. Waiting. Ticking.
Counting the seconds. Doing the picking
Of the moment. The moment. THE MOMENT.
When I decide the world needs a comment
From me. From my hands. From my head.
From the voice that says "YOU'RE NOT DEAD YET,
BUT YOU COULD BE. THEY COULD BE.
EVERYONE COULD BE. WITH ME."

[BREAKDOWN]
"I'm gonna light it. I'm gonna throw it. I'm gonna watch it fly."
AND THEN I'M GONNA WATCH IT DIE.
AND THEN I'M GONNA WATCH THE SKY
TURN RED. TURN BLACK. TURN NOTHING.
AND FOR ONE SECOND. ONE SECOND.
I'M GONNA BE SOMETHING.
---
[VERSE 4]
HORSESHOE. NAIL. BOMB. BOOM.
GONNA LIGHT IT IN A ROOM.
GONNA THROW IT AT THE MOON.
GONNA MAKE THE COWARDS FUME.
GONNA MAKE THE SKY OPEN.
GONNA MAKE THE GROUND SHAKE.
GONNA MAKE THE OLD WORLD BREAK.
GONNA MAKE A NEW WORLD. MY WORLD.
ONE RULE. ONE LAW. ONE SOUND.
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB. COUNT IT DOWN.
---
[FINAL HOOK]
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! SCRAP AND STEEL!
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! THIS IS WHAT I FEEL!
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! COUNT IT DOWN!
FOUR. THREE. TWO. ONE.
BOOM TOWN.
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! WATCH IT FLY!
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! IN THE SKY!
HORSESHOE NAIL BOMB! SAY GOODBYE!
BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. GOODBYE.

"Any second now."
"Any…"
