Time Can'T Wait

So in the spare of the moment 
I must save face
Because i know my departure will take place

Isaw my mother's expression
And what she had to say
I just turned my head and looked away

Im being timed 
Time will not wait for me
So my escape must be easy

I got my weapon in my hand
Blood rushing down my arm
Just gushing

Anger takes over as i stare in space
And think and pace and think
Though my life remains on a brink

That border line from no return
No going back now
I'm twenty-three , i'm grown

So time couldn't wait for me
In my last hour
I died unhappy and lonely
