A Killer Inside

Suicide is twice the pain
First there's mine and then there's yours
Restless devils salivate for a chance
To kill an angel on its shore
Put your money down on the safe bet
Life stealing cancer from a cigarette, in demand
Beautiful things get crushed by human hands

They don't give rewards for a heart attack
But on Sunday they'll take you back

There's a funeral where the crowd waits anxiously
There's a killer in the room here somewhere... and it might be me
Staking out myself, it was a strange awakening
I couldn't prove it, because I couldn't see... the killer inside of me

Cause I didn't even know I had it in myself
I mean, there were signs...
But nothing to make me think
Just a simple kiss, so innocent
Would leave a lust deep enough to disgust even me
There were days on end where I couldn't sleep

A confession would imply remorse
But I'm not sorry about anything

There's a funeral where the crowd waits anxiously
There's a devil in the room here somewhere... and it might be me
Staking out myself, it was a strange awakening
I couldn't prove it, because I couldn't see... the killer inside of me

I never really felt the urge to kill until recently
I was looking for something whole again, but it wasn't me
It was a version of myself, sort of like a split personality
But I swear to you, that's the deadest part of me

There's a funeral where the crowd waits anxiously
There's a killer in the room here somewhere... and it might be me
Staking out myself, it was a strange awakening
I couldn't prove it, because I couldn't see... the killer in me

In order for me to survive...
Some poor sucker had to die
