Killing Time

Stumbling words and stuttering lips Make the sentence complete A death sentence complete Create Hell out of hopelessness Confirm the failure of it all Falling and calling Falling and crawling A stick in the ground scratches your name A scream in the darkness is searching Again and again Watching eyes wait for sadness to rise True superstitions combine and thicken This poison that reaches my soul This terror that blackens my soul I must smile at your strategy And laugh at your plan And the execution of it all Like death itself love is rotting inside of me But there'll be no protection for you - you cannot hide me I am cold on a bed of ice But like seasons I know it will pass It will always return again though A Summer of love is a momentary and transient thing Winter will always return again And I should have known We were only killing time Now you have chosen you're killing time Let's hope you make the kill in time Lies fall out of your mouth like laughter So shallow - it's become so disposable We had faith like a cross We had trust like a flag We had faith We had trust Killing time
