• Seven minutes to the bell
    that's seven minutes' silence
    and knowing it will end soon
    which is seven minutes' hell
    I beg of you just this once

    I don't mean to feel this way
    this anger is not intended
    just leave me alone for a bit
    maybe next time I'll be fixed

    It's not about who wins or loses
    it hurts me just as much as you
    please try to understand
    I don't think I'm hiding from you

    It's got to be the paranoia
    or perhaps it's just me
    but in these last few minutes
    I need you to allow me
    this time of peace
