Killer Lyrics by I the Mighty

We Speak

0

[Verse 1]
Say goodnight, go to sleep, close your eyes, shut them tight
And don't fret about the man with the knife
It's a joke, it's a lie, he's a fake
Just a plague of the memories that keep you awake
But if you let your subconscious bleed into reality
He'll be hunting you down in your dreams
So just relax, breathe deep
Let your mind drift you off to sleep
And I'll see if I can keep the blade away

[Chorus]
But maybe he could stay (Maybe he could stay)
And if you close your eyes he'll be gone by day break, yeah
Maybe he could stay (Maybe he could stay)
And as you sleep he'll steal all your dreams away, anyway

[Verse 2]
Love and death are the two things that he is most aware of
Singing songs of heartbreak and homicide
And you'd thing that he would cry
But his tear well has turned stone dry
And if you could have seen
The way his life was lived to this date and time
Then maybe you'd understand his violent state of mind

[Chorus]
But maybe he could stay (Maybe he could stay)
And if you close your eyes he'll be gone by day break, yeah
Maybe he could stay (Maybe he could stay)
And as you sleep he'll steal all your dreams away, anyway

[Breakdown]
Well, he's watching
He's waiting
He's planning

[Verse 3]
Say goodnight, go to sleep, close your eyes, shut them tight
And don't fret about the man with the knife
It's a joke, it's a lie, he's a fake
Just a plague of the memories that keep you awake

[Outro]
All he wanted was one last kiss, he said
"Shoot me so I leave this world alive"
Just a killer with one last wish, he said
"Shoot me so I leave this world alive"
All he wanted was one last kiss, he said
"Shoot me so I leave this world alive"
Just a killer with one last wish, he said
"Shoot me so I leave this world alive"
