31 minutes to run for my life
30 minutes to make up my mind
29 minutes to hear the first shot
28 minutes to hear the screams
27 minutes to say goodbye
26 minutes to say I love you
25 minutes to think of a lie
24 minutes to change the time
23 minutes to end her pain
22 minutes to watch her fade away
21 minutes to save everyone
20 minutes to say who I like
19 minutes to say don't speak
18 minutes to watch the white rose fall to the floor
17 minute to watch them all run for the door
16 minutes to see the drops of blood
15 minutes to dream
14 minutes to bleed
13 minutes to see who is dead
12 minutes to find my way
11 minutes to take my last breath
10 minutes to say I'm sorry
9 minutes to watch her pray
8 minutes to cry
7 minutes to say why
6 minutes to have nothing left to say
5 minutes to watch the gun
4 minutes to feel the cold metal against my head
3 minutes to look into their evil faces
2 minutes to hear the metal hit the floor
1 minute to have my last thought
0 minutes to ..................
