What do you get from sitting still
A worried mind and time to kill
Murder
Take the time out in the back
One, two, three and then the crack
Of a silver
Hammer
What’d that time ever do to you
Except drain the life right out of you
Daily
Kill it with a poison gas
Watch it go slowly and fast
Maybe
It’ll learn a lesson
To not be messing
With me
Do you think that time could be afraid
We could throw it off the golden gate
Bridge
Suffocate it, blow it’s brains
Detectives reading carpet stains
Wondering
What this means
They cannot resuscitate
And time dies in the cruelest way
Imaginable
Do the stars blink in it’s defense
Is there a priest who can make sense
At the funeral
I don’t think so
That’s just life
On earth
Torture time until it squeals
And spills the antidote that heals
All our wounds
Time begs for it’s life and then
We kill it over and over again
It’s a balloon
That never pops
What do we get from time we waste
Contemplating the empty space we try
To fill
Looking for that peace of mind
Spend time trying to find the time
To kill
But it’s already dead
We shot it in the head
Now you’re free
