Lyrics

A Small Explosion

From Memento Mori2017

Lyrics

A Small Explosion

It’s a little late (our) bodies betray us The gears no longer grind We could wait All paranoid Who has the time? We could watch The world around us Pass us on our porch Or we could cause A small explosion Just under the floor Let’s light these fires Blood pact, no liars Just drive, just drive away There are roots They complicate things There’s others to appease But really we Could take them with us I’ll grab the keys Things change, new chapters Happy ever after Only one way to know Shoot first, no questions Teach them these lessons So that they won’t be afraid
