Only Murderers Kill Time Lyrics


When the sacrifices have all been made

For the time you thought you saved

You reflect on all that you have done

To the life you have betrayed

So hold me, hold me under

Beneath your choking hands

Cos all I know is what you say

I'm married to the past

I'm lying motionless just stare at the ceiling

You light the fire in my head again

My skin is crawling on a journey to nowhere

My eyes are closed but I still see you

So hold me, hold me under

Under your choking hands

I'm playing with the fire

Tempted by the light

Slave to my desire

My anguish chase delight

And this time can be the last time

Have I got what it takes, have I got what it takes

It's not the end my friend

We got to start again

Cos only murderers kill time

My mind is drowning in a sea of confusion

You give me shelter from the pain again

I take your medicine but I'm not healing

Well maybe that's what you intended

So hold me, hold me under

Under your threatening hands

I'm playing with the fire

Tempted by the light

Slave to my desire

My anguish chase delight

And this time can be the last time

Cos I know what you think, yes I know what you think

It's not the end my friend

We got to start again

Cos only murderers kill time

When the sacrifices have all been made

For the time you thought you saved

You reflect on all that you have done

To the life you have betrayed

I'm lying motionless just stare at the ceiling

You light the fire in my head again

I'm playing with the fire

Tempted by the light

Slave to my desire

My anguish chase delight

And this time can be the last time

Have I got what it takes, have I got what it takes

It's not the end my friend

We got to start again

Cos only murderers kill time

It's not the end my friend

We got to start again

Cos only murderers kill time

I take your medicine but I'm not healing

Well maybe that's what you intended
