Five Seconds

Five seconds
 That's all we get
 How can I
 In just five seconds
 Tell a story of seventeen years of pain
 How can I
 In just five seconds
 Spew the shit that's in my brain
 My five seconds weren't of fame
 My five seconds happened
 On November 25th, 2017
 On my bathroom floor
 With a bottle of pills
 With the choice to go or stay
 I chose to go
 And my five seconds almost never came
 Then I remembered her face
 My little sister and how she'd smiled at me that very same day
 And I realized that in five seconds
 I could rip her entire life away
 That in just five seconds
 I could be the one
 To take her big brother away
 So I had a choice to make
 To pick up the phone
 And to call for help
 Or to let my last five seconds
 Fade away
 In just five seconds
 Everything
 Could change
 In just five seconds
 We could chose to go
 Or to stay
 'Cause we only have
 Five seconds
