I was watching my taped version of Birthmark for like the millionth time a couple of nights ago, and well I was at school and it was Reading Apprehension and I was bored, we were watching North by Northwest, I don't know what's it about so don't ask, we're becoming "educated" young ladies and gentlemen...Yeah, sure. So while half the class was brain dead and the other half asleep I started going through Birthmark in my head and well here you go! Enjoy!

Only Six More Hours
I only had six more hours
Then this eternal nightmare
Would have finally ended
Freeing me form it's deadly stare
Nearly there, I see the light
An opening at the end
Of this horrible tunnel
But then my father had to send
His resurrected messenger
He hunted me through the night
Chasing me down
As I tried to fight
He played with me
Let me run for a while
Then catch me again
His tactics were vile
Hanging on for dear life
The fight raged on
Scorching my skin
Redder than light's first dawn
Your words encircle me
You presence still within
Tearing me apart
Causing me to sin
I've given my life to good
You're trying to take it away
My life's work
And I know it's happening today
Eighteen hours done
Watching my clock
Ticking the seconds down
Now they only mock
My false hopes
Ticking away all my dreams
Telling me it's useless to resist
That my future is what it seems
At six hours to go
Until my nightmare ceased
You broke into my thoughts
Showing me the beast
Of what you are
To prey on me
Your own blood
So now I see
You're just a monster
Eating up my hope
Taking away my purity
Leaving me to cope
With my destiny
And with the knowing
That I'm going to take
My friends, the idea is lowing
I want to be free
Of your deadly hold
On my life and actions
Always doing what I'm told
Six hours ago
I was still praying
That you might have lied
And that I was staying
But you made my visions
Into a grim reality
And now it's only a matter of time
Before you break my life's simplicity
Only six more hours
Will bring me close now
To keeping my life's
Evil secret vow…
