Lyrics for Kill Me Quickly

Can we, Can we kill each other quickly? Quick enough so i won't feel it? A shot of strobe light anesthesia And I'll be fine As I begin to feel cold My hands are shaking from fear, White from clutching my pride, Red from cutting you, And blue from telling lies. 'Cause I'm sick of the stabbing, I'm sick of the breaking, I'm sick of the bleeding until we fall down, Sick of this circle of death that we dance through Again and again, just lay me in the ground. Let's fall asleep together, Hold me darling 'cause I'm scared, And I can't do this alone. (Guitar wailing and drums pounding) But i need! Your heartbeat To haunt me, Your cold lips to breathe, A promise that, tomorrow We'll wake up somewhere new.
