For the Kill

My friends, my lovers and everyone I cared for are dead

They said, you'll die soon enough anyway

Shut up, I can't

Mainly because I never could

And how could I start now?

I drink water perhaps contaminated by the split of the atom

Less than a war, a good thousand feet away from me

And others of my kind

My mind is on its own tonight

My blood it shakes and through my veins and travels to my head

They said, you'll die soon enough anyway

Shut up, I can't

Mainly because I never could

And how could I start now?

Honey, I'm down

Not that I need you

Look at me now

You've made a believer

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up some more

Why would I be

Standing still?

When you've got blood that I need to spill

Oh, yeah, I'm looking for thrill

I live for the kill

I ain't a killer

Not by my own design

Vengeance is my business

Business is doing fine

One and a half drinks making my mind think there's a return

But I'm loving it out here

Overseeing their dreams burn

My blood it shakes and through my veins and travels to my head

They said, you'll die soon enough anyway

Shut up, I can't

Mainly because I never could

And how could I start now?

Honey, I'm down

Not that I need you

Look at me now

You've made a believer

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up some more

Why would I be

Standing still?

When you've got blood that I need to spill

Oh, yeah, I'm looking for thrill

I live for the kill
