Tick tick tick boom

I see the ticking time bomb on the wall
As I sit in a chair with my hands tied behind my back not able to escape 
My breath goes to my chest 
As I hear the ticking time bomb go tick. Tick. Tick! 
I know there is no escape 
So I sit here and try to find some peace with my eventual demise 
I close my eyes because I do not want to see what becomes of me 
And I cry for myself for the life I have lost and the life I will not have.
