Strapped to the bomb, you're weightless for today

Falling a lifelong headless path dismay

Blind of sound, arms tied around

Counting down until you get your way

Fat is fried and cut your head

Is there anything I should have said?

In the read and yellow time away

Hold up high your head and say



Time to end it all

Was this of my will?

And if so my God

Do I want this still?

But you fool yourself

Smile false and tough

You suffocate the speed

I never had enough



It's no use, the damage has been done

Floating between the sewer and the sun

Vacuum round you leap and bound

To gain the moisture stolen from your tongue

Earth is well in sight below

And there's no one there to see you go

Attention starved in final act

The ticking time not turning back
