Kill the Time

It's getting dark at quitting time
The long way home just to jolt my mind
My boots feel heavy as I climb the steps to my empty house
It's a long night
I got my records, my food and drink
The TV talks while I tune out to think

How did I get here?
Was it by choice?
Is there hope for the hopeless?
People move on
Life happens fast
Do they remember the way it was?

We were young and cruel
With open hearts
Guilty of reaching
Reaching out

So what?
So we kill the time
To kill the pain
We kill the time

All those good times come rushing back
Only for a second, then it all goes black

So what?
So we kill the time
You blink your eyes
Time flies by
You cling to stupid things you should have left behind

When you see them smile
They've forgotten your name
Don't remind them

They say give it time
And you'll say goodbye to a certain part of your life
But me? I keep it locked up tight
Still holding on
'Cause what else do I got?

So what?
So we kill the time

So what?
So we kill the time

So what?
So we kill the time

We kill the time
We kill the time

All those good times come rushing back
Only for a second, then it all goes black

So what?
So we kill the time

So we kill the time

So we kill the time
