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
