Time Bomb

Shot for Shot

Get Stoned

Where’d you drift off?
Did you miss the land?
Left me adrift in fog,
Filling holes with sand.
I lit the flare, but you went blind
Coulda called, but changed your mind
Shoulda stayed, but played the kind
Of legs that never learned to stand

You said “maybe,”
I heard “never”
And it broke me
Too damn clever
Wish you'd want it
Just enough
But love for you was always rough

Shoulda, woulda, coulda said it
But you let me break within
Left the engine runnin’, sped it
Right back to where you've been
We were hanging by a thread
Spun from stars we never met
I would lose you just to prove
I don't use what I regret

I took the hit,
Swallowed every dull excuse
Poured a fifth
Just to get a little loose
Thought if I gave more than half
You’d let me make it last
But you vanished in the math
Now I’m proof you can’t deduce

You say “sorry,”
I say “maybe”
Like chopped off fingers
Our digits severed
You gave nothing
That was real
I gave you every ache I feel

Shoulda, woulda, coulda held me
But you folded, played it cold
Said you missed me, then repelled me
Watched me raise, watched me fold
We were comets pulled apart
By a wish that had no spark
I would rather break in two
Than be the one who left a mark

Now we're cobwebs in the attic
We were magic, then dramatic
Started comedic, ended tragic
And you vanish like a trick
I still see me in your madness
In the mess, behind the glasses
Told myself you’re not the axis
But I still revolve too quick

Shoulda, woulda, coulda saved it
But we drowned in all that light
Used to shine it, now we fake it
In the cracks between the night
You were someone I once knew
Built from stars and residue
I would lose you all again
If it meant I made it through

Shoulda, woulda, coulda saved it
But we drowned in all that light
Used to shine it, now we fake it
In the cracks between the night
You were someone I once knew
Built from stars and residue
I would lose you all again
If it meant I made it through

Shoulda, woulda, coulda
Shoulda, woulda, coulda
Shoulda, woulda, coulda
oh!


Shoulda Woulda Coulda

I’ve been praying for this so long,
Then a moment came, it was all gone.
A look in your eyes, the storm in my mind,
Searching for shelter, some peace to find.

Your eyes were stars in a midnight sky,
Every wish I made was just to survive.
Then I saw you standing right there in front of me,
Like a gift straight from heaven, set my soul free.

[Pre-Chorus]

But Father God, I feel the ache,
Every time I give, it breaks.
You show me love, then tear it away,
I’m left here screaming, asking why today.

[Chorus]

Why, Father God, do you give, then take?
Why show me a life that I can’t embrace?
You know my pain, you know my scars,
Why keep dealing me a broken deck of cards?
Why, Father God, I don’t understand,
Was this all part of your greater plan?
I’m crying out, don’t leave me blind,
I need your light, I need a sign.

[Verse 2]

You took my childhood, innocence too,
Things I never chose, but they cut right through.
Day after day, the pain wouldn’t stop,
I asked you to lift me, but I still dropped.

Every love I give, it fades away,
Every joy I find, it don’t stay.
Am I just the game? Am I just the test?
Are you trying to see if I’ll stand the rest?

[Chorus]

Why, Father God, do you give, then take?
Why show me a life that I can’t embrace?
You know my pain, you know my scars,
Why keep dealing me a broken deck of cards?
Why, Father God, I don’t understand,
Was this all part of your greater plan?
I’m crying out, don’t leave me blind,
I need your light, I need a sign.

[Bridge]

I’m on my knees, torn apart,
You’re the only healer of this heart.
Through the storms and endless night,
I’m still reaching for your light.

Even when I don’t know why,
Even when my tears still cry,
I’ll hold on, though I’m weak inside,
Father God, don’t let me die.

[Final Chorus]

Why, Father God, do you give, then take?
Why show me a life that I can’t embrace?
You know my pain, you know my scars,
Why keep dealing me a broken deck of cards?
Why, Father God, I don’t understand,
But I’ll keep walking, holding your hand.
Through all the pain, through all the cries,
I’ll keep on searching for your eyes.

Why, Father God
