Killer


Singer 1:

It hurts me to hurt others

And you deserve my pain

As much as you deserve

A trip on heaven's train

 

Singer 2:

My anger's hit its tragic end

But I'm more hurt inside

All you need to do

Is end this sinner's life

 

Singer 1:

I know it might sound ugly

I know it might sound sweet

But you can't comprehend

Something quite so weak

 

Singer 2:

You know he got what he deserved

I'll never take it back

There's so much that you'll never know

My purpose played its final track

 

Singer 1:

I'm no God to you

Your end will take its time

Lucky for your soul

The rest of us aren't slaves to crime

 

Singer 2:

You know you want what you can do

It's only but one simple move

It's such a pleasure, feel the anger

I'm a waste of breath with nothing to prove

 

Singer 1:

Our joys take different forms

But I can't give you yours

Your moral guide's just different

But I can't let yours take its course

 

Singer 2:

We may be different but we're quite the same

This pain we feel's got me to blame

Wouldn't you want your last breath heard?

Don't you want to be understood?

 

Singer 1:

I know it might sound ugly

I know it might sound sweet

But you can't comprehend

Something quite so weak

 

Singer 2:

My whole life's been a cry for help

No one listened or heard me shout

This final blow, see, was your fault

So end your guilt, you can exalt

 

Singer 1:

You're the one who didn't let go

And I will pain the real coward

You may not get my inner strength

But you'll have to learn, before it's too late
