frontline (nz) - time's up lyrics

[intro]
my grandpa asked me one time
whether i care if i live or die
yeah, i do
now, it’s too late

[verse 1]
stuck in a place between life and death
see a sign that says, ‘critical condition ward’, these are final breaths
i’m ’bouts to die unless i’m better than the sign suggests
i try and rest, but i’m facin’ certain death [?]
[?] swallow it, [?]
don’t know what the doctor just said, seein’ [?] chest bled
got blurred vision from the paink!llers
see nurses rushin’ beside me, some cables plug me to an iv
fadin’ in and out, they shock mе with 4,000 volts
almost comatose, but [?] by my own pulse
surrounded by surgеons, heart’s poundin’, i’m hurtin’
tubes in my mouth and i’m burnin’ up, all i know is it’s bound to be curtains
i smell the floor cleaner or some sort of disinfectant
i can’t see what the doctor’s doin’ to my midsection
i taste blood, don’t know if i’m numb from pain or fear
starin’ at the ceilin’, wonderin’ how the f+ck i came in here

[chorus]
time’s up (it’s that time!) there’s no rewindin’ me
just some empty thoughts of what i mighta been (what i mighta been)
time’s up, never coulda pictured on an average day (average day)
how quickly my life could get sn+tched away ([?])
time’s up, it’s the end of the road (end to the road)
[?] flesh and these bones, i ain’t ready to go (i ain’t ready)
time’s up, ain’t no point in fightin’ ’cause
it’s over (it’s over), it’s over, it’s over
[verse 2]
i’m [?] nervously, now, no one’s nursin’ me, my chest is hurtin’ me
next door, there’s some emergency urgently needin’ surgery
there’s frantic movement, sneakers squeakin’ on the floor
woman’s labour’s premature and in the rush they leave the door
flung open, unknowin’ that across the hall
of the hospital, i’m still conscious, and i watch it all
unfold in front of my eyes, been told
more than a hundred times, witnessin’ birth really something in life
husband runs to his wife while she’s under the knife
the surgeon usin’ a scalpel, tryna cut her in time
a c+section, nine inches in measurement
ironic that i’m seein’ life stole while mine is exitin’
his hands reach in, emerge with a tearful baby
maybe it’s fate, god sent this child here to replace me
but why forsake me? why’s he hate me? what was i meant to do?
gotta be a reason that i’m ’bout to die at 22

[chorus]
time’s up (it’s that time!) there’s no rewindin’ me
just some empty thoughts of what i mighta been (what i mighta been)
time’s up, never coulda pictured on an average day (average day)
how quickly my life could get sn+tched away ([?])
time’s up, it’s the end of the road (end to the road)
[?] flesh and these bones, i ain’t ready to go (i ain’t ready)
time’s up, ain’t no point in fightin’ ’cause
it’s over (it’s over), it’s over, it’s over
[verse 3]
i’ve always thought it was hard to believe that you started to
life flash before your eyes when it’s harder to breathe
and you know that you dyin’ and there’s no use in tryin’
the reaper takes [?] don’t notice you cryin’
so much i haven’t done, places i’d like to go
gangster kaleidoscope of regrets, i’m just tryna cope
it’s full of wishes and would’ve and should’ve and can’ts
where i hadn’t taken a chance ’cause i didn’t understand
how it could all be over long before it’s supposed to
be my time for the deceased and i to come closer
see nurses runnin’ over, my vital signs is faded
“we’re losin’ him!” i subconsciously overhear them sayin’
my lungs give out, my heart stops, i feel my life go
and i just saw everything in a slideshow
i felt the whole world against me in my mind
but, nah, the only thing ever against me was time
