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
