I'M Killing Time

I'M KILLING TIME

Time is dead
I killed it
Then threw it to the wind
I put off 'till tomorrow
Just when I should begin

Somewhere safe in yesterday
My dreams got packed away
By waiting for tomorrow
I lost track of today

Time is dead
I killed it
But in the end I see
Instead of my just killing time
Time was killing me
