Killing Time

Killing time, on a perfect day
I'm just thinking of you
And the scratches on your face
One last thing to see to
To be together from today

Killing time, on a perfect day
It's been a hard time working
My fingers through the pain
Though I'm tired and dirty
At least I know you're safe

Killing time, on a perfect day
Smothering the embers
Of a long neglected flame
There's a storm approaching
Will it wash my sins away?

Killing time, on a perfect day
Feel my guilt embrace me
Like the twist of a tourniquet
Just say that you were with me
And I will say the same

Killing time, on a perfect day
When they found his body
They handed me the blame
Now my fate is resting
In the hands of a magistrate

Killing time, on a perfect day
I'm just thinking of you
With a hood upon my face
One last time to breathe in
