  • Under the surface (under the surface)
    Wires are crossed (wires are crossed)
    At any moment (at any moment)
    I could go off

    And I can't hold much longer
    It keeps getting stronger
    It's only a matter of time

    I'm living like a landmine
    Waiting to explode
    I'm ticking like a time bomb
    Ready to go
    I'm a danger to myself and everybody else
    I'm living like a landmine
    Waiting to explode
    I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go
    I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go

    Under the pressure (under the pressure)
    I'm not okay (I'm not okay)
    I live in denial (I live in denial)
    I've bottled the rage

    And I can't hold much longer
    It keeps getting stronger
    It's only a matter of time

    I'm living like a landmine
    Waiting to explode
    I'm ticking like a time bomb
    Ready to go
    I'm a danger to myself and everybody else
    I'm living like a landmine
    Waiting to explode
    I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go
    I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go
    I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go

    And I can't hold much longer
    It keeps getting stronger
    It's only a matter of time

    I'm living like a landmine
    Waiting to explode
    I'm ticking like a time bomb
    Ready to go
    I'm a danger to myself and everybody else
    I'm living like a landmine
    Waiting to explode

    I'm living like a landmine
    Waiting to explode
    I'm ticking like a time bomb
    Ready to go
    I'm a danger to myself and everybody else
    I'm living like a landmine
    Waiting to explode
    I'm ready to go (I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go)
    I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go Writer/s: Barry Stock, Brad Walst, Gavin Brown, Matt Walst, Neil Sanderson

  • Alicia Curry from Indiana I totally got that feeling from this song. I’m a very passive aggressive person and I’m also an empath who struggles with drug addiction, therefore I was able to relate to it in that sense as well. Because often times in recovery I feel like a soldier on the battlefield every day. I think positive, attend treatment regularly, and use my coping skills and the majority of my time I try to spend doing things that are constructive or things I enjoy, but I know in the back of my mind that any second I could erroneously navigate myself to step on a landmine it’s only a matter of time before I have all I can take and the temptation will find it’s way and i could make a seriously dangerous mistake and subject myself to potentially a nasty relapse.
