Six and One

Your foot against my back
The stairs against my chest
I remember your footsteps behind me
And the rest I’ve forgotten
60 seconds to die
60 seconds to say my last goodbye
There’s a time for remorse
There’s a time for dying
You have no control
This is my time to live
1000 corners have carressed these tears
1000 tears have comforted these cheeks
Even under your words I’ve said nothing
I’ve laced my lips with wire to keep the words from your ears
So that the words I bleed are unheard
And that the I speak is unnattainable
Let’s sit down and talk about you and I
You were a child and I was one also
But when it comes down to discussing the times I’ve got
There’s only one thing on my mind
60 seconds to die
60 seconds to say my last goodbye
