The Kill Lyrics by Lenoy Barkai

Paper Crown

2023

[Verse]
Change is coming, it’s moving faster than we ever thought we’d have to face
And we know something’s gotta give and yet we hold our cards close to our chest

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me the truth and I won’t have to doubt you
I’m leaving tonight, baby with or without you
I don’t wanna fight, but we could be heading for war
The secrets we buried, their graves were too shallow
The good times we hurried without looking back. So
Now that we’re nearing the end, is therе anything more?

[Chorus]
Tell me, wеre we ever on the right track?
Are there things that we could take back that would veer us off this collision course?
Or shall we go straight for the kill?
‘Cause the strong do what they will
And we could take this thing, yeah, break this thing by force

[Verse]
Better people, well they did worse than us and yet they lived to tell the tale
But you and I would rather rule just one more day than quit while we’re ahead

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me the truth and I won’t have to doubt you
I’m leaving tonight, baby with or without you
I don’t wanna fight, but we could be heading for war
The secrets we buried, their graves were too shallow
The good times we hurried without looking back. So
Now that we’re nearing the end, is there anything more?

[Chorus]
Tell me, were we ever on the right track?
Are there things that we could take back that would veer us off this collision course?
Or shall we go straight for the kill?
‘Cause the strong do what they will
And we could take this thing, yeah, break this thing by force

[Bridge]
Catch us in a lie: we spin it like sugar
And they didn’t even try, try to look through it
Yeah they put their faith in us
‘Cause the weak do what they must

[Chorus]
Tell me, were we ever on the right track?
Are there things that we could take back that would veer us off this collision course?
Or shall we go straight for the kill?
‘Cause the strong do what they will
And we could take this thing, yeah, break this thing by force

[Pre-Chorus/Chorus Variation]
Tell me, were we ever on the right track?
(Tell me the truth and I won’t have to doubt you)
Are there things that we could take back that would veer us off this collision course?
(I’m leaving tonight, baby with or without you)
Or shall we go straight for the kill?
(I don’t want to fight, but we could be heading for war)
‘Cause the strong do what they will
(The secrets we buried, their graves were too shallow)
And we could take this thing, yeah, break this thing by force
(The good times we hurried without looking back)
(So now that it’s nearing the end, is there anything more?)
