Walking, Ticking Time Bombs.

Fear is often found in eyes on the floor,
Retreating from life instead of fighting for more. 
If only they'd take a chance on one more pair of eyes,
maybe they would see anything but a stick of dynamite.

But what if my advice just sets off another time bomb?
That’s just been ticking, waiting to be shut off.
It could be as simple, as cutting the red wire instead of blue.
Where that red wire is, I really couldn’t tell you.

I don’t understand how one gets so lost.
Furthermore, how some just give up!
How they don’t even try, to find their way.
Why would you prefer to live in such dismay?

Still; if that chance just becomes another fail,
All the more reason for eyes to retreat to the ground.
These people, we people,
Need something more to believe in before we have faith.
The solution could be as simple as choosing love over hate.
