I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not til I grew up

No one would believe it
He was such a normal guy
Shake their heads and wonder why

Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to god?
Would we put the weapons down
Or aim it up at the sky

No one would believe it
Except the fucking nut jobs
They laugh and cry we told you so

Baby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the pieces

When everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall?
Are you gonna learn to fly?

No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly away

Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And lean me up against Jesus

Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
I want to believe in Jesus

    wow this song is full of pain. all the references to disbelief and requiring tangible proof before believing in something, it sounds like a horrible struggle. (possibly a reference to the pain of losing a loved one and having trouble coming to terms with the loss?)
