[Chorus]
Kill time, kill it, I'm runnin' circles, runnin' twelve digits
Each tick a primordial fidget
Will I let live and run with it?
All we ever wanted was a couple more minutes
To kill time, let's kill it, runnin' loops, can we hit the finish?
The wick burn quick if you let it
Will I let live and run with it?
Kill time and with it, cut my life's limits
[Verse 1]
Catch me red-handed, time on my hands, we were abandoned
Trapped in a canvas, light on the land
Lambasted, strapped to the crag, with these
Eyes of the damned to track thе patterns, I couldn't manage
Amidst the avеrage, the acts and enacted
Rite of the lamb, smack bang in the
Av'lanche, strike the matches, side to side
We turn night to white, in the interests of time
We divide and fight it, these diminishing lives
Stuck in a cycle of bidin', still the tide rises
Laps the granite until our ankles get slimy
Blood oxidises, the mozzies get bitin'
A pat on the back just for arrivin'
Just a tap on the pad to pay your tithes, please
Standing on the shoulders of giants
With a moon to catch, you in the mood to match me?
[Interlude]
All rise
In the interests of time, let's advance to the next question
The question is, we've only—the interests of time
Let's advance to the next question. The question is
We've only one way to break the cycles that keep us in the—
The interests of time—cycles that keep us in the dark, a grey, grey haze—
In the interests of time—and so I offer a proposition
[Chorus]
Kill time, kill it, I'm runnin' circles, runnin' twelve digits
Each tick a primordial fidget
Will I let live and run with it?
All we ever wanted was a couple more minutes
Kill time, let's kill it, runnin' loops, can we hit the finish?
The wick burn quick if you let it
Will I let live and run with it?
Kill time and with it, cut my life's limits
Kill time, let's kill it, I'm runnin' circles, runnin' twelve digits
Each tick a primordial fidget
Will I let live and run with it?
All we ever wanted was a couple more minutes
Kill time, let's kill it, runnin' loops, can we hit the finish?
The wick burn quick if you let it
Will I let live and run with it?
Kill time and with it, let the light wither
[Verse 2]
Kissin' echoes of God (I'm kissin' echoes of God)
Livin' any and all (I'm livin' any and all)
I've heard the cry and the call
Tied knots to streetlight poles in the green light smog
Is it time to move on? Have I held all these will ever hold?
Ashes to dust to ash falls
Sometimes, life is ripe with no meaning
Meaning everything must be for a reason
Each, every second to split, heat of the moment
I've been cutting my teeth, I've been grindin my nose
I'm not stopping to slow, so I'll cut to the chase
If I'm not cutting corners, I'm cutting it close
I know I'm on the highway to hell trying not to high road
The city gets loud, so we try to lie low
Can't see the stars for clouds and white smoke
If we kill time tonight, where will life go?
[Outro]
If we kill time, kill it, run circles round the thin wick, it
Might burn out, we might miss it
Will I let live and run with it?
All we ever wanted was a couple more minutes
If we kill time, kill it, try to gun straight for the finish
Strip ticks quick from the skin and
Will I let live or live with it
Kill time and with it, let the light wither
