KILLING TIME - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I could hold my breath for hours at a time

But you'd still knock the wind out my chest, oh baby

I get nervous all the time

Cause I know I'm thirty minutes from death

Now I'm bluer by the day

Watch the skies burn my signals to rest

I'm getting used to killing time

Cause I know it's gonna beat me to death

I'll sleep tonight on your side of the grave, and I'll crumble in your hands

What's a minute to a life?

Cause I know it's gonna beat me to death

Throw my bones in a landfill, my teeth set in stone

Somewhere under the anthill, I'll seethe til' I'm home

Look back over the mountains, you sleep all alone

Does the earth that surrounds you wake you up when it's cold?

My god

Waiting for the storm to come, the rainclouds rolling in the coldest way

Carried by the wind, it's leaving holes inside my shoulder blades

Faded in the Nordic sun and frozen to my soul

In case I die before the moon come up, just know I take the total blame

I shrivel on the outside, frostbitten

About time I crinkled to the weight of all the world inside my core dismay

These ripples in my outline, soft spoken and outlied

In case I die before my stars, just know I don't have more to say

At least I'm not a world away

I could hold my breath for hours at a time

But you'd still knock the wind out my chest, oh baby

I get nervous all the time

Cause I know I'm thirty minutes from death

Now I'm bluer by the day

Watch the skies burn my signals to rest

I'm getting used to killing time

Cause I know it's gonna beat me to death

I can feel it in my wrists

That I know it's gonna beat me to death

We're a danger to ourselves

So I wonder if you'll beat me to death

I'll sleep tonight on your side of the grave, and I'll crumble in your hands

What's a minute to a life?

Cause I know it's gonna beat me to death
