Bomb That Can't Explode

Bomb That Can't Explode

This used to be mine you know
Plenty of time and kindness overflowed
It was all right, then overnight
I was grown out of my happy home
Oh yeah
Transferred from school to school
Special enrollment, gifted programs suck
I was the one, the prodigal son who got stuck
My parents were out of luck

Give the human mind some extra time
Get a dark cloud down the road
Give a genius son nowhere to run
Get a bomb that can't explode
A bomb that can't explode

Out of the blue to black
One day my dad had a massive heart attack
It wasn't my fault
He ate too much salt all his life
He's survived by his charming wife
and son

Give the human mind some extra time
Get a dark cloud down the road
Give a genius son nowhere to run
Get a bomb that can't explode
A bomb that can't explode

Give the human mind some extra time
Get a dark cloud down the road
Give a genius son nowhere to run
Get a bomb that can't explode
A bomb that can't explode

Now that you're out on your own
Will you make it your own way home
Now you can stand on two feet
Will you give up the dreams you've known
But will you wake up one day to find that you're alone
