2.2.6 – When Time Runs Out (minimalist classical piano music)

Lyrics

VERSE 1:
In the silence of the screen, a timer starts to play
Twenty hours given freely, or time just melts away
Two point two point six reminds us, every user has their pace
Some need moments to consider, some need time and space

CHORUS:
When time runs out, give warning clear
Twenty seconds minimum, let them know it’s near
Extended time or saved progress, choices must appear
When time runs out, accessibility is here

VERSE 2:
A mother feeds her baby while filling forms online
A student thinks more slowly, but their answers still shine fine
The clock should never punish those who need a different way
Two point two point six protects them, keeps their data safe today

CHORUS:
When time runs out, give warning clear
Twenty seconds minimum, let them know it’s near
Extended time or saved progress, choices must appear
When time runs out, accessibility is here

BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
Unless it’s live or urgent, time should bend to human need
Essential tasks, real auctions, these exceptions we concede
But most of all remember, when you build for everyone
Two point two point six ensures no person comes undone
