Jawbreaker

Deadly as a viper
Peering from its coil
The poison there
Is coming to the boil

Ticking like a time bomb
The fuse is running short
On verge of shaping
If it's caught

And all the pressure
That's been building up
For all the years
It bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame

Starts to distort
Ready to explode
Jawbreaker

Crouching in the corner
Wound up as a spring
Piercing eyes that flash
Are shimmering

Muscles all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every once fibre on alert

And all the pressure
That's been building up
For all the years
It bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame

Starts to distort
Ready to explode
Jawbreaker
