Killing Me Softly - Joseph Vincent

Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly with her song I heard she sang a good song, I heard she had a style, And so I came to see her, To listen for a while And there she was this young girl, A stranger to my eyes Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly with her song I felt all flushed with fever, Embarrassed by the crowd, I felt she found my letters, And read each one aloud I prayed that she would finish, But she just kept right on Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly with her song She sang as if she knew me, In all my dark despair, And then she looked right through me, As if I wasn't there But she was there this stranger, Singing clear and strong Strummin' my pain with her fingers, Singin' my life with her words, Killing me softly with her song, Killing me softly, with her song, Telling my whole life with her words, Killing me softly, with her song Killing me softly, with her song

It's 2 a.m., hear the cellular ringin' Got the curious feelin' you're fendin' for love But the thing is, we haven't spoken for weeks I love you bad, that's the problem occurrin' Better love I deserve, and I'm hurtin' But sadly, I worship every moment we meet So you take and you take 'cause you know you can And I chase as you're chasin' another man Try to break, see your face and I know that I can't Oh, you're killin' me You're not makin' it easy (ah-ah-ah) Too busy deceivin' and cheatin' and lyin' and competin' To know how lucky you are You're killin' me I just want you to free me (ah-ah-ah) And though I am cryin' and bleedin' and barely breathin' I can't let go of your heart I take your call, you say, "What's the matter?" Then you lie to me faster and faster, you're such a good actor I hear your car in the driveway Now you're tossin' a rock at my windowpane Said, "I don't wanna talk, just go away" But you claw at the locks 'til I let you invade Oh, you're killin' me (killin') You're not makin' it easy (ah-ah-ah) Too busy deceivin' and cheatin' and lyin' and competin' To know how lucky you are You're killin' me (killin') I just want you to free me (ah-ah-ah) And though I am cryin' and bleedin' and barely breathin' I can't let go of your heart I wanna die, but you keep me alive You're killin' me, you're killin' me I wanna die, but you keep me alive You're killin' me, you're killin' me I wanna die, but you keep me alive You're killin' me, you're killin' me Fight to survive, oh, love of my life You're killin' me Oh-oh, you're killin' me (killin') You're not makin' it easy (ah-ah-ah) Too busy deceivin' and cheatin' and lyin' and competin' To know how lucky you are (oh) You're killin' me (killin') I just want you to free me (ah-ah-ah) And though I am cryin' and bleedin' and barely breathin' I can't let go of your heart I wanna die, but you keep me alive You're killin' me (killin'), you're killi' me (killin', oh-oh) I wanna die, but you keep me alive No, I can't let go of your heart You're killin' me

You put a bullet in my heart Every time you look at me And it gets worse when we're apart So I need you right next to me And I don't wanna fall asleep 'Cause right here is better than my dreams That kind of love that makes you weak I can't barely breathe 'Cause your love is killing me And it's a habit I should break But I wouldn't change a thing And I wish you could feel my pain 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me You push me until I break Ache in places can't explain I let you walk all over me You're the torture I won't free Cross my heart and hope to die It's a pain I won't deny You're one thing I wouldn't change Tell me, do you feel the same? 'Cause your love is killing me And it's a habit I should break But I wouldn't change a thing And I wish you could feel my pain 'Cause your love is killing me ('Cause your love is killing me) And I wish you could feel my pain 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me 'Cause your love is killing me (Your love is killing me, me, me, me) (Love is killing me, me, me, me) (Love is killing me) And I wish you could feel my pain 'Cause your love is killing me

That was all I got, and now you got me All I ever really wanted was to take the blame I will go down in history and not down in flames Meningitis, I will survive this Dry sockets and a schizophrenic crisis The time of The Nine has begun Get outta the way, or you will suffer as one This is so typical, apocalyptical Hanging on abysmal release, Jesus I don't need this, don't wanna be this Icon in the making, my hands are fucking shaking What if God doesn't care? What if God doesn't care? Remember, surrender, the time is now Continue, we're in you, and we will burn your cities down America is a killing name It doesn't feel or discriminate Life is just a killing field It's all that's left, nothing's real Throw away your disposable past And fall apart like a cigarette ash We are the fatal and vital ones of the world And we will burn your cities down What if God doesn't care? What if God doesn't care? America is a killing name It doesn't feel or discriminate Life is just a killing field It's all that's left, nothing's real Throw away your disposable past And fall apart like a cigarette ash We are the fatal and vital ones of the world And we will burn your cities down Down We will burn your cities down We will burn your cities down Yeah We will burn your cities down Feed the hungry, feed them shit Feed them bones and politics You wanna revolutionize? Be specific and believe your eyes Start a war in another backyard And we'll destroy your house of cards Give me a minute, and I'll change your mind Give me a bullet, and I'll change your life Remember, surrender, the time is now Continue, we're in you, and we will burn your cities down America is a killing name It doesn't feel or discriminate Life is just a killing field It's all that's left, nothing's real Throw away your disposable past And fall apart like a cigarette ash We are the fatal and vital ones of the world And we will burn your cities down, down, down We will burn your cities down, down, down We will burn your cities down America, what if God doesn't care?

What if you're here when I'm not ready? What if I'm not willing to listen? I hope these devils never leave me 'Cos I keep taking what they're giving Right now it feels like killing time I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there? Right now it feels like killing time Lately I've been thinking about Just who I'm supposed to be There are lines forming on my hands and face Before today I have never seen But right now it feels like killing time I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life Sometimes I wonder if I was ever really there? Right now it feels like killing time Killing time, oh Killing time, oh Oh Right now it feels like killing time I'm running from the shadow of my former shadow's life Sometimes I think that I was never really there Right now it feels like killing time

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
