Overkill
Album • 1989
violent indecision, surge of mass religion let me out of prison i'm just killing time every time I turn around I start to hear a familiar sound counting down as time stands still yes I think it's time to kill time to kill time to kill time to kill time to kill all the mental anguish speaks a common language I have yet to lavish a chance to walk away every time I turn around I start to hear a familiar sound counting down as time stands still yes I think it's time to kill time to kill time to kill time to kill time to kill unknowing, unseeing revelations unfold before your eyes relenting, repenting. no time to think or compromise time falling, time calling into a void and seal the past you're waiting, annihilating, making it real, making it last worn out compromises inside out demises see through all the lies we don't walk away every time we turn around start to hear that familiar sound new beginnings time stands still yes I think it's time to kill time to kill time to kill time to kill time to kill

out on this road takes its toll and you pay for everything you do underlights, made me blind this place is the same as last night out of control takes its toll but you learn to live with your dreams and speaking your mind to those you find listening to what you have to say I wouldn't change the way I wouldn't stop the decay promised the world, as your world changed before our eyes and the days became the weeks and the weeks the years and no one remembers that very first day or how it slipped away forever I wait, pulling in, pulling out as the motors whine to remind me i'm home and i'm here to stay as we decay another day decay away i'm goin' home, I don't know where i'm goin' home, not far from here out on this road, paint this toll make me whole, set the stage fill it with anger, fill it with rage no I don't know what's today I know it falls in the years of decay self sacrifice, every night and together we paid a price in blood that spilled out through the years and another day passes away look to the black, drawn farther back look to each day, see the decay times i've had, good and bad win or lose, this is what I choose... The years of decay The years of decay
