about

A song about losing your shit. Emotionally that is.

lyrics

Daybreak's teeth are chomping at the bit
Stretching, reaching for a perfect fit
There's nobody holding on to the reins but the horses are riled
Galloping off with your feet in a stirrup
Now you'd better start to feel inspired

Hoops and hurdles a fire trick or two
Rites of passage invented just for you
The trainer's whip cracks in the center ring but you don't wanna be around
All you can do when the pressure's on you
Is just to stop and drop the old F Bomb

Look back, way back, at all the wasted time
Now you're on the block at the starting line
The starter pistol fires and you're off again on another aimless run
You tripped and dashed on the bumps of the past
As you stop and drop the old F Bomb

Dreadful harpies flyin' 'round your head
Shooting arrows tipped with poisoned dread
No more detente or diplomacy all defenses gone
No more reprieve just a trick up your sleeve
As you stop and drop the old F Bomb
