lyrics

I’m happiest in the blast
In the radioactive aftermath
Everyone suspended
Everything upended

I got chaos on my mind
I could leave this all behind
Take some time to heal
Analyze how we feel

Well I could build a house out of this rubble
Tell you I’m trash, baby I’m trash
And I could scare em off with tales of my trouble
Choking on ash, choking on ash

Let’s detonate
I could change our fate
Regenerate
Ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Two sticks of dynamite
Oh the songs I’ll write in my next life
Let’s detonate
Let’s detonate
Let’s detonate… before it’s too late

My reflection stays
She knows what it’s like to grow and change
But there’s always dust to settle
So I’ve never met her

Well I could build a house out of this rubble
Tell you I’m trash, baby I’m trash
And I could scare em off with tales of my trouble
Choking on ash, choking on ash

Let’s detonate
I could change our fate
Regenerate
Ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Two sticks of dynamite
Oh the songs I’ll write in my next life
Let’s detonate
Let’s detonate
Let’s detonate… before it’s too late

It keeps me from the edges
Keeps me from what’s mine
I don’t know why I’m so surprised
After the bang, that’s when I awoke
And I saw the devil dancing in the smoke
Fire in the hole!
Oh——

Let's detonate
I could change our fate
Regenerate
Ooh oh oh ooh oh oh

Detonate
And the hands of fate
Reanimate
Ooh oh oh ooh oh oh oh
Two sticks of dynamite
And we’ll start tonight
If you gotta light
Let’s detonate
Let’s detonate
Let’s detonate
Before it’s too late
