Lyrics:
Bombs Away
A fistful of an angry world
holds the haggard heart of a torn-up girl
a firm hand guides the iron of will
smoothes out the wrinkles of the unfulfilled
I don't want to hear you say you're all better now
I don't want to hear everything's OK
I just want to be right there beside you
when you're ready to say
clear the air - bombs away
a tragedy too tender to reveal
engines of anguish spinning your wheels
the secret of your sweltering soul
guards a silent cry for a lie so old
I don't want to be your one voice of reason
I don't want to be the one that saves the day
I just want to be right there beside you
when you're ready to say
clear the air -- bombs away
don't wait till you're turning blue
you'll suffocate to death
when you hold in your anger
it's just like holding your breath
raise up the canon of truth
fire away at the plague of tortured youth
release a river from your mountain of blame
lift up the anchor from your sea of shame
I don't want to see the world crashing down on you
I don't want to see you crumble away
I just want to be right there beside you
when you're ready to say
clear the air -- bombs away
