Lost in time in dead position

ko.lichess.org/iJPXvUMkSk74

I lost in time even if my opponent does not have any series of legal move to checkmate me.

Please change the result of the game and adjust ratings accordingly.
Thank you.
There are numerous sequences of legal moves which checkmate White.

EDIT: Oops, this is atomic chess.
I won on time fairly.

Please do not change the result of the game and do not adjust ratings accordingly.

Thank you.
@Toadofsky

How do he checkmate me? Can you give me one sequence? He cannot take my pawn, cannot take my bishop, and cannot promote the pawn.

@toadofsky

I dont know if you know something I dont, but in atomic I dont believe there is a way for black to make progress. Therefore I agree this game should be considered a draw in future games, but this game, because it has already happened, should not be changed.
@DanDan2016 That is also a fair point. Maybe lichess should just add this as the 'dead position' database and give draw next time.
#4 Oh, this is atomic chess? That being the case Black cannot mate by a legal sequence of moves.
Maybe next time @kclee2172 should offer a draw instead of playing for a win in a drawn position and then complaining when he lost on time?
@Duubik, I have no comment or bearing on the rating of this particular game. I can only design & develop code.
