[Verse 1] You say “just one more hour till I’m finally free,” Scrolling through a glowing little tombstone screen. “I’m only killing time till the good stuff starts,” While the seconds carve your name in the dark. You fast-forward mornings, you erase your days, Treat every quiet minute like a throwaway. You keep your life on temporary mute, Then wonder why the future doesn’t taste like fruit. [Pre-Chorus] Every breath you kill just to make the clock move, Is a piece of you gone that you can’t ever prove. [Chorus] If you keep on killing time, Time will turn around and finish you. You can’t wage war on the only thing That’s walking every step with you. Stop trying to burn the hours down, Like they’re in your way, not part of you. If you keep on killing time, Time will be the one that’s killing you. [Verse 2] You say “I can’t wait till this week is done,” Like seven days of breathing are just trash to outrun. You drink through the evening just to skip the night, Then sleep through the sunrise you swore you’d like. You live for Friday, you bury Monday alive, But both are made of the same one life. You push your moments into a shallow grave, Calling it “boredom” while you waste what you crave. [Pre-Chorus] You keep pressing skip on the songs you don’t know, But they’re still your soundtrack wherever you go. [Chorus] If you keep on killing time, Time will turn around and finish you. You can’t wage war on the only thing That’s walking every step with you. Stop trying to burn the hours down, Like they’re in your way, not part of you. If you keep on killing time, Time will be the one that’s killing you. [Bridge] This minute’s not a hallway, it’s a room with open light. This coffee, this silence, this random Tuesday night. You’re not on pause, you’re not on hold, This is the story that will one day be told. One day you’ll beg for just ten more seconds, The same kind you’re wasting now like they’re nothing. Time is not your enemy, it’s the only thing you’ve got, Stop trying to shoot the clock. [Breakdown] Don’t say “I’m just killing time” Say “I’m alive inside this line.” [Chorus] If you keep on killing time, Time will turn around and finish you. You can’t wage war on the only thing That’s walking every step with you. Stop trying to burn the hours down, Like they’re in your way, not part of you. If you keep on killing time, Time will be the one that’s killing you. [Outro] So take this moment, let it breathe, Don’t rush it off, don’t make it leave. Every second that you choose to feel Is the only part of time that’s real.
