I'm a time bomb.

They'll talk and talk and talk
Until it becomes a soft roar
There are too many voices
Can't take it anymore.

You don't yell.
You don't comment.
You sit still and hold back
Because nobody notices
An anxiety attack

But they notice when you explode
Because the implosion's too large
Your battery's out
And you'll never recharge

You hear the voices
You can't make them stop
So you join them, yell louder
'Cause your cover has dropped

You have two choices:
Cry or scream
So you yell, you explode
You blow out your steam

'Cause you're a time bomb.
Up until my insomnia meets me
I lied when I said I forgot
I was scared what you'd think
If I said that  I love you a lot

People have only cared for minutes
Leaving me to care for days
When I look at you all I can think
Is please don't go away

I can see me in your eyes
I dream of dreaming with you
I can trace your scars with mine
My thoughts are bleeding through:

My Talia, I know what it's like to not be seen;
what it's like to be alone in a crowded room.
For you, my star, I want you to know:
that no one shines as bright as you.

I can taste you moving on my skin.
My gasp is air you sustain.
hand in hand, under an umbrella
with you, I am safe.

Quiero escribir cartas a tu cuerpo que vive debajo de la tierra
Pero tengo palabras en mi mente que no puedo permitir afuera.

Tengo millones de cosas decir que estan enterrados contigo
No puedo hablarlos a una tumba porque no sería lo mismo

Asi escribo cartas a nadie porque nadie quiere escuchar.
Quizás alguien querra oirme cuando no estoy aquí contar

Tu ganancia y la perdida mia
Busco sol dorado y encuentro joyas amarillas
Tienes torres de oro; tengo juguetes de plastica
Ganaste la loteria; yo perdi, que lastima

Mi derrota y el triumfo tuyo
Arruinas los castillos que yo construyo
Tienes torres de oro; no tengo nada
Pero yo soy fuerte y eres delicada
Spanish is not my first language so don't judge me too hard but I wanted to try to write something in Spanish to see if I could do it. Translation:

Your gain and my loss
I look for golden son and find yellow jewelry
You have towers of gold and I have toys of plastic
You won the lottery; I lost, what a shame

My disaster and your triumph
You ruin the castles that I construct
You have towers of gold; I have nothing
But I'm strong and you're delicate

I was not prepared for this
I'm not ready still
I won't be prepared for this soon
And maybe I never will

I was not prepared for this
But I guess I am to blame
It's all my fault; It's all my fault
It's a responsibility I must claim

I was not prepared for this
And now I'm running scared
Maybe I still wouldn't have the strength
Even if I was prepared

The establishment's crashing down on us
The broken walls; the broken trust
The foundation's busted
That foundation we trusted
Is cracking beneath our feet.

This building's in ruins, this world is in flames
Reality's version of the Hunger Games
We're lost and afraid
We're losing the game
We can't even compete.
Whispers, screams, all in a rush
This is too much, this is too much
Voices and cries, rapidly firing
This is too tiring, this is too tiring
Everything I do will make you sad
I will go mad, I will go mad
If I even speak you'll begin to cry,
Why can't I die, why can't I die?
