[Verse 1]
Not my fault, someone put a wall in my way
I hit that wall hard, now hear what I say
There are some walls… and some ceilings too
Wait—just one ceiling, staring down at you
And I hate taxes—yeah, I hate that fee
It takes what I’ve got and it won’t let me be
Your toast has been burned, it’s char at the core
No amount of scraping makes it clean anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
Timeline? Time isn’t made out of lines
It’s made out of circles—loops and signs
That’s why clocks are round, watch it come around
Everyone who was not here is now here now—sound

[Chorus]
I don’t want to be dead, I want to be—
Or, a Cowboy, riding wild and free
I’m an Emotional Time Bomb—wired, tight
Tick-tick, don’t test it when it’s set to bite

[Verse 2]
But my favourite thing about friends is this truth:
No matter how many you lose, you can find new youth
I am allergic to things I do not want to do
So don’t hand me that task like it’s something “easy” to chew
And at least I don’t knock on people’s non-doors
Then promise a treat and ignore my own chores
Promising, then not giving—what’s that about?
Say it real loud: that’s what I’m calling out

[Pre-Chorus]
Time goes in circles, not angles or squares
It comes right back like it never left there
Clocks stay round, and the moment comes ‘round
Everyone who wasn’t here is here now—sound

[Chorus]
I don’t want to be dead, I want to be—
Or, a Cowboy, riding wild and free
I’m an Emotional Time Bomb—wired, tight
Tick-tick, don’t test it when it’s set to bite

[Bridge]
Tucker did it—yeah, you know that’s the claim
Not my fault, don’t drag me into that blame

[Chorus]
I don’t want to be dead, I want to be—
Or, a Cowboy, riding wild and free
I’m an Emotional Time Bomb—wired, tight
Tick-tick… and I’m not here for that bite
