Theme

Following 'Psychopathy,' this track confronts a manipulative, pathological liar ('sick, psychopath,' 'cheat and a thief'). The title **'Killing Time'** refers to the antagonist's games and deceit, which are emotionally destroying the narrator ('feeding off my grief'). The song is an anthem of resistance against a toxic relationship, declaring a final stand to 'take back control.'

Lyrics
Some people look at you, and feel sorry They see your beady eyes, and a soul that is black It's clear to see You're a pathological liar And your alibi was a lie, it was all just an act And that's a fact When you start moving your lips I know that you're lying So, don't tell me you need me You're killing my time Stop saying you're grateful 'Cause you're not, your kind is so hateful I'll make sure I'm ready I'll make sure that I'm ready to go If I told me once, I told me a thousand times It's just a matter of time, you'll screw the world inside-out You're a sick, psychopath You squander everything, and then laugh You've got to know what goes around, comes around And around When you start moving your lips I know that you're lying So, don't tell me you need me You're killing my time Stop saying you're grateful 'Cause you're not, your kind is so hateful I'll make sure, I'm ready I'll make sure that I'm ready to go When you start moving your lips I know that you're lying So, don't tell me you need me You're killing my time Stop saying you're grateful 'Cause you're not, your kind is so hateful I'll make sure, I'm ready I'll make sure that I'm ready to go Start moving your lips I know that you're lying (I know that you're lying) So, don't tell me you need me You're killing my time (you're killing my time) Stop saying you're grateful 'Cause you're not, your kind is so hateful I'll make sure I'm ready (so hateful, so hateful, so hateful) I'll make sure that I'm ready to go Start moving your lips I know that you're lying (I know that you're lying) So, don't tell me you need me You're killing my time (you're killing my time, you're killing my time) Stop saying you're grateful 'Cause you're not, your kind is so hateful I'll make sure I'm ready (so hateful, so hateful, so hateful) I'll make sure that I'm ready to go So hateful So hateful Kill my time (I'm ready to go) So hateful (I'm ready) So hateful (I'm ready to go) So hateful So hateful So hateful So hateful Killing time
