lyrics

Time to keep it shut,
time to zip it,
Put the cat back in the bag,
drown the kittens that it had.

Words
seldom listened to, never heard.
Kill your darlings one more little murder.
Serve your sentence and in time
feel how sometimes time doesn’t heal.

Dirty washing on display,
hung out to dry,
a lovely day to air your grievances,
further distances

with words
often meaning less and misheard.
Kill your darlings one more little murder.
Serve your sentence, do your time
and feel how time sometimes doesn’t heal.

Drinking in the gloom.
The last chance saloon.
Questions to be asked
lie at the bottom of each glass

words
seldom truly spoken, always slurred.
Kill your darlings one more little murder.
Serve your sentence, steal your time
and feel.

Sometimes time does not heal.
