Firecracker on a Quiet Pond

(verse 1)
In crisis mode again \
that’s why I’m talkin’ \
to something I can’t see \
alone and walled-in \
With self-improvement systems \
and false security \
in crisis mode \
gotta step back and take control \

Firecracker on a Quiet Pond
by Stephen Jerome Kapeller
(verse 1)
In crisis mode again \
that’s why I’m talkin’ \
to something I can’t see \
alone and walled-in \
With self-improvement systems \
and false security \
in crisis mode \
gotta step back and take control \
(prechorus)
Explode like a firecracker on a quiet pond \
Explode like a firecracker on a quiet pond \
(chorus)
Cuz the volume’s got me stitched up \
to the top from the bottom rung \
(B-chorus)
And I look into the mirror \
and I don’t see a hero \
Think I’m finally getting somewhere \
Yeah, I think but I wanna know \
(verse 2)
Lost and unwhole again \
still there’s no stoppin’ \
Far from my soul again \
how can light drop in? \
Between self-imposed derision \
and chic technology \
and in this mode \
gotta step back, there’s no control
(prechorus 2)
I told you it’s a firecracker on a quiet pond \
I told you it’s a firecracker on a quiet pond \
(chorus 2)
And the volume’s got me stitched up \
to the top from the bottom rung \
And I look into the mirror \
and I don’t see a hero \
think I’m finally getting somewhere \
Yeah, I think, but I wanna know \
And I look into my own eyes \
looking deep into enemy lines \
Think I’m finally getting somewhere \
and I just might not be alone \
[break]
And the volume’s got me stitched up \
to the top from the bottom rung \
Explode like a firecracker \
Explode like a firecracker \
Explode \
Explode \
Explode \
Explode \
Explode \
Explode \
or 
?
