Let’s Hang

Wait A Second…

Life’s not over, ever. Let time heal…

It was cold that night
And I was shivering of the fear,
A small thing that lost my might
I couldn't speak to anyone dear

Why oh why — why didn’t I do the homework
I knew the consequences and still let it lag,
Time had come to meet the teacher’s turf
I wished time had stopped and swallowed me mad

But it was too much to handle
Teacher would be mad
That made me sad
Maybe too much sad,
Let’s end it all
One hang and all the pain is over
Let me wait when I am alone
It sure is life or death — homework wasn’t done,
Teacher would be mad

A scarf came handy
My hands became slippery and sandy,
Nexvousness, anxiousness crept in
But I still made my decision in

My face went blue
And then realization kicked in,
I would love to live days a few
But too late, I was already hanging
Oh I wish I could rewind
And then the scarf came unwind
