  • Wasted disposable dying scum
    Two months tops before silence replaces your small beating drum
    Isn't that what we're all waiting for
    So we can go home and celebrate our good life

    But i feel gun powder
    Burning under my skin
    Don't say another word
    You might set off a spark
    'Cause I've got gun powder
    Burning under my skin

    Take me back to tv-land
    Numbness is a safe zone
    They never trained me for reality
    I'm a reality-tv clone
    Now did you say your 10 going on 11?
    Something is terribly wrong
    Somehow I'm dying with you

    But I feel gun powder
    Burning under my skin
    Don't say another word
    You might set off a spark
    'Cause I've got gun powder
    Burning under my skin

    Yamkela
    Don't leave now Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
