Step Away from the Bomb

Poorly planted ordinary ordnance
Put out like the weekly trash
I feel as though I will explode    
Sure as death will steal my life    
God's got it in for me while I'm alive    
The timer ticks as the yellow bricks    
Fall from the road I heard leads to Oz    
Behind my steps that never rest    
a hole descends in haste    
To swallow me in darkness    
Because I  refuse to drop to my knees    
In hypocrisy and praise    
It is dangerous to get too close    
For I'll drag you down with me    
To my final destiny    
Where Satan awaits my ghost    
Like a door prize for the losers    
Who never won in life    
Because the deck was stacked    
Against us and all our kind    
Never was a risk of success    
When facing predetermined fate    
Branded by his holy hand    
Before breaching mother's womb    
May as well have been aborted    
Instead of forced to dangle from his strings    
Until my wooden heart burst into flames    
My soul exploded when the ticking stopped    
As splinters of hollow shrapnel infect you    
With emptiness and silent shadows  
Step away
Nothing to see here  
I've already detonated
