Lyrics
Killing Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What if you're here when I'm not ready?
What if I'm not willing to listen?
I hope these devils never leave me
'Cos I keep taking what they're giving
Right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there?
Right now it feels like killing time
Lately I've been thinking about
Just who I'm supposed to be
There are lines forming on my hands and face
Before today I have never seen
But right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there?
Right now it feels like killing time
Killing time, oh
Killing time, oh
Oh
Right now it feels like killing time
I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life
Sometimes I think that I was never really there
Right now it feels like killing time
