Time Bomb

Found my corner of the matrix
No, I never thought I'd say this
But it turns out all my friends are famous
So concerned with reputation
Why every night do I try assimilating?
Not gonna lie, I'm getting tired of this simulation
I'm a ticking time bomb looking for my ride home
Flicking through my iPhone, no destination
Don't care about your homies pretending that they know me
I don't got time for phonies or validation
Get fucked up every Thursday, drink like it's your birthday
So obsessed with first place, oh, oh
Yeah, I'm a ticking time bomb looking for my ride home
Flicking through my iPhone, no destination
I guess I'll stay on this vibration
I don't need your reciprocation
As it turns out, love is condensation
I keep it moving on 'cause I'm impatient
Why every night do I try assimilating?
Not gonna lie, getting tired of this simulation
I'm a ticking time bomb looking for my ride home
Flicking through my iPhone, no destination
Don't care about your homies pretending that they know me
I don't got time for phonies or validation
Get fucked up every Thursday, drink like it's your birthday
So obsessed with first place, oh, oh
Yeah, I'm a ticking time bomb looking for my ride home
Flicking through my iPhone, no destination
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I'm a ticking time bomb looking for my ride home
Flicking through my iPhone, no destination
Don't care about your homies pretending that they know me
I don't got time for phonies or validation
Get fucked up every Thursday, drink like it's your birthday
So obsessed with first place, oh, oh
Yeah, I'm a ticking time bomb looking for my ride home
Flicking through my iPhone, no destination
