Lyrics

Kill The Boy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I walk around with a bullet on my tongue,

Killer written on my face

I know that when he finds out what I've done,

It's gonna take his life away

And his heart will break and once the pain will stop the beating,

Skin will turn as cold as ice.

When his lungs collapse enough, well there'll be no more breathing

I will gently close his eyes.

It's gonna kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy, tonight

Alright [x3]

I walk around with murder in my eyes

I'm gonna turn my baby blue

I practiced in the mirror hundred times

But still can't bring myself to shoot

See his heart will break and once the pain will stop the beating

Skin will turn as cold as ice

When his lungs collapse enough, well there'll be no more breathing

I will gently close his eyes

It's gonna kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy, tonight

Alright [x3]

I'm in the kitchen when he gets back home,

I hide the knife behind my back.

My hands are shaking when he smiles at me,

The only way he can react

See his heart will break and once the pain will stop the beating

Skin will turn as cold as ice

When his lungs collapse enough will there be no more breathing?

I will gently close his eyes

It's gonna kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy, tonight

Alright [x3]

Kill the boy [x2]

It's gonna kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy.

I'm a kill, kill the boy, tonight

Alright [x3]

It's gonna kill, kill the boy

Kill, kill the boy tonight,

Tonight

Alright

Alright...
