[Verse 1]
Dm Gm F Em
Silence slights spirits of those gone into the night
Bb A
But what was the cost?
Dm C G
Do I justify the loss
Gm A Dm C Bb
When a loss of control would be digging myself a hole?
Gm A
It couldn't be worth it
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm a killer
Dm
I'm a killer
Dm
I'm a killer
F A Bb
But I've been killing myself all along
F Am Bb
Had I done my best to protect innocence
F Em Dm
Or did I lead the wolf to the fawn?
[Instrumental]
C# E Bb Bbm C#m A Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm
Watch your words
Bb F C
Keep them from bothering the herd
Bb A
Provoking the stones
Dm C G
That they all can throw
Bb A
No, I won't carry on
Dm C Bb
Living this life that I stole
Gm A
It just isn't worth it
[Chorus 2]
Dm
I'm a killer
Dm
I'm a killer
Dm Dm
I'm a killer
F A Bb
But I've been killing myself all along
F A Bb
Divining the right from the wrong
F A Bb Dm
Had I done my best to protect innocence
Bb C
Or was something more wicked in store?
[Verse 3]
Bb C
Is there villainy inside of me?
Bb
In search of worth
C
Have I burned the earth?
Bb Dm
There's no passion in being passive
F C
And no inaction could bring an answer
Bb
So for you, I am a killer
Bbm E
