Killing Time
I
As it tolls the midnight hour
I find myself atop the tower
Preparing to commit myself to death
I take a long, final breath
I throw myself above the street
Then wonder of the fate I shall meet
My life flashes before my eyes
Future truths and past lies
And before I hit the ground
All I hear is the bell's final sound
II
As it reads twelve o'clock
I lock the bathroom's lock
In the sink is ice and water of rain
All in order to numb the pain
I slip the knife from the cover
My life will now be over
The blood now drips from my fingers
And a sharp pain starts to linger
And I hit the blood-soaked floor
Now my clock is stopped forevermore
III
As my watch chimes at noon
I know the end is coming soon
I finished the task of loading the clip
And to be sure, with hollow tips
I press the gun to my head
Wondering how much blood will be shed
At this point there's no turning back
Squeeze the trigger, all goes black
In the world's total imbalance
My clock is forever silenced
IV
The clock rings now at midnight
All that was wrong will now be right
I make sure that all is ready
Checking if the stool is firm and steady
And after this last and final check
I slip the noose about my neck
I now stare at the far wall
All is left is to take the fall
And as i feel the rope turn tight
My life has turned to eternal night
Back to the Beginning
