lyrics

well i've stationed myself in a lot of ruts, but i
but i always seemed to know what i wanted from life
everything seemed to happen as quick as a light
but i always seemed to know what i wanted from life
but now i'm holding, i'm holding onto what is mine
because i'm stuck in a muck that i can't seem to fight
whittle out the back sweep, i'm slipping through the sides
but the meaning i know is no longer waiting outside

kill me slowly
time is time apart
i'm waiting for a start
this is the score so far

taking the advantage, they've taken down the signs
but i think i know just what it is i fantasize
all my friends keep on telling me they're feeling lost and dying
so i try to show them all of the things they bind
copies of the main plan, we've studied the maps of life
but we never know what kind of monster lurks inside
follow my intentions, tell her that i'm fine
and that i'm still on coarse and headed for her side

kill me slowly
time is time apart
i'm waiting for a start
this is the score so far

so the pages turn to glass
oh the sadness will not last
i see it start to crack
and falls apart
this is the score so far

i could save you from a slow death, i would save you tonight
but tomorrow will come with no one to stop mine

kill me slowly
time is time apart
i'm waiting for a start
this is the score so far
