11:45 make sure the straps are tight 11:46 all the time i've spent wonder where it went 11:47 now as the sweat beads on my brow 11:48 how did it get this late 11:49 what has happened to the time 11:50 here how did it so soon appear 11:51 the count down is almost done how could time be so cruel 11:52 to do this to me 11:53 feel the knocking at my door 11:54 11:55 i ponder life all the wrong i did 11:56 11:57 next stop hell or heaven for me it's much to late 11:58 11:59 again where went the time as 12:00 rolls around can't help but think about the horrid way that i lived when they pull the switch
