The Kill
I was skipping stones first time I gave in
I just pushed it down, thinking numb meant painless
Fell in a trance, didn't cry at all
Paced and wrung out my hands in the bathroom stall
I was skipping stones first time I gave in
You can pile it on
Swear that I can take it
I can keep you warm, while I fake
Everything's coming back for the kill
I'm stalling out on empty
Ran as long as I could
But I still couldn't outrun my body
Now all my ghosts are at my table
Talking to walls, I look unstable
I'm the one you rely on
Smiling as the world gets heavy
Is it too late to fall?
Now my head just screams while the whole world sleeps
What's it like to enjoy your own company?
At the first sign of silence, my mind is a tyrant
The worst and the only place I can't leave
Everything's coming back for the kill
I'm stalling out on empty
Ran as long as I could
But I still couldn't outrun my body
Now all my ghosts are at my table
Talking to walls, I look unstable
I'm the one you rely on
Smiling as the world gets heavy
Is it too late to fall?
Think I'd rather feel pain, don't know how to start
I cut every vein that leads to the heart
I miss all my friends, but I never see them
I wish they would call, I don't give them a reason
I'd rather feel pain, don't know how to start
I cut every vein that leads to the heart
I miss all my friends, but I never see them
I wish they would call, I don't give them a reason
Everything's coming back for the kill
I'm stalling out on empty
Ran as long as I could
But I still couldn't outrun my body
Now all my ghosts are at my table
Talking to walls, I look unstable
I'm the one you rely on
Smiling as the world gets heavy
Is it too late to fall now?
Is it too late to fall now?
Is it too late to fall now?
Is it too late to fall now?
I just pushed it down, thinking numb meant painless
Fell in a trance, didn't cry at all
Paced and wrung out my hands in the bathroom stall
I was skipping stones first time I gave in
You can pile it on
Swear that I can take it
I can keep you warm, while I fake
Everything's coming back for the kill
I'm stalling out on empty
Ran as long as I could
But I still couldn't outrun my body
Now all my ghosts are at my table
Talking to walls, I look unstable
I'm the one you rely on
Smiling as the world gets heavy
Is it too late to fall?
Now my head just screams while the whole world sleeps
What's it like to enjoy your own company?
At the first sign of silence, my mind is a tyrant
The worst and the only place I can't leave
Everything's coming back for the kill
I'm stalling out on empty
Ran as long as I could
But I still couldn't outrun my body
Now all my ghosts are at my table
Talking to walls, I look unstable
I'm the one you rely on
Smiling as the world gets heavy
Is it too late to fall?
Think I'd rather feel pain, don't know how to start
I cut every vein that leads to the heart
I miss all my friends, but I never see them
I wish they would call, I don't give them a reason
I'd rather feel pain, don't know how to start
I cut every vein that leads to the heart
I miss all my friends, but I never see them
I wish they would call, I don't give them a reason
Everything's coming back for the kill
I'm stalling out on empty
Ran as long as I could
But I still couldn't outrun my body
Now all my ghosts are at my table
Talking to walls, I look unstable
I'm the one you rely on
Smiling as the world gets heavy
Is it too late to fall now?
Is it too late to fall now?
Is it too late to fall now?
Is it too late to fall now?
