To Make a Bomb

from The Conscience of the King by Temple

/

lyrics

When I hurt my mother's feelings,
I feel the deepest sense of shame,
how her body quivers, and her teeth fall off of her face.
I hang my head in the bathroom,
through the vent I hear her crying---

“What have I made? I'm so ashamed.
Have I been played? I'm just a card game.”

When my girlfriend hated me,
when no one came to my housewarming party,
I tie my tie way too tight.

(Meanwhile, my father hung himself from the balcony,
fireflies in the yard burned bright red to mock the way he was afraid to bleed.)

Strap myself to a homemade bomb, this theatre is coming down.
Give me that bullhorn motherfucker, I've got something to say -

“No! Don't make me do it!”
