Description

Not long after I decided to concentrate on single song ideas as they came to me rather than the year it takes to write and produce an entire album the song TIME BOMBS sort of “exploded” in my heart. There was such an urgency and I wasn’t sure why. In about a week my songwriting partner and I had it written and I raced to get it produced Didn’t know why. And then the day I was ready to send the track off for mastering I sent the mix to Michael who lives in Utah and he was driving past the UVU campus 4 minutes before Charlie Kirk was shot. And since then, other tragic acts of violence have taken place…and we wrote this before these recent time bombs had gone off. This may be the first time I’ve ever written about something before instead of after it has happened.

Time Bombs

The clock keeps ticking it’s been so sickening since the first stone was thrown

Can there be healing without a reckoning the guilty must atone

Which story are we repeating who’s fault are the injuries

Who needs a beating for the mistreating I’m sure it’s them not me…..

Oh and…

(Chorus)

Who’s gonna detonate the time bomb that’s raging in every heart

And who’ll survive, who’ll be alive when the next time bomb ticking starts

Was there a moment somewhere in history Abel was saved by Cain

When will the whole world enter recovery addicted to placing blame

There’s not much hope I am seeing, I’m sure who caused my injuries

Who needs a beating for the mistreating I’m sure it’s them not me…..

Oh and…

(Chorus) 

(Bridge) 

We are the time bombs we are the time bombs

Who’ll be first to blow the fuse

We are the time bombs we are the time bombs

No matter who goes first and we all will lose

The clock keeps ticking it’s been so sickenin’

Oh….

Chorus) 2xs

Who’s gonna detonate the time bomb

That’s raging in every heart

And who’ll survive who’ll be alive

When the next time bomb ticking starts

 

Which story am I repeating, who’s fault are the injuries

Who feels the shame, could it be that it’s me
