Erin McKeown
Once a Bomb, Always a Bomb
I'm cold, I'm lonely, I'm lost
Like a bomb from the sky in a sudden surprise
I've blown up our love and at terrible cost
I'm broken by mine own natural design

Might doesn't make right
Still the nature of me is to always be fighting
The bed's not a battle or a beautiful blight
Love doesn't always have to be lightning

I wish I was different but this feels essential
If I don't explode, what's my potential?

The spotlight is focused, the audience rapt
For his final performance watch closely his hat
I'm a marvel of science and everyone gasped
At the noisy disaster I've made of that

I'm cold, I'm lonely, I'm lost
Like a bomb from the sky in a sudden surprise
