The Kill
30 Seconds To Mars Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴What if I sought after to wreck
Laugh it all off for your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the ground
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?

Come, damage me down

Bury me, bury me
I am completed with you

What if I wanted to struggle
Beg for the rest of my existence
What would you do?
You say you sought after extra
What are you waiting for?
I'm not working from you

Come, ruin me down
Bury me, bury me
I'm finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I sought after used to be you

I attempted to be any individual else
But nothing appeared to change
I do know now, that is who I really am inside
I've finally found myself
Fighting for a possibility
I know now, this is who I truly am

Come, wreck me down
Bury me, bury me
I'm finished with you, you, you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I sought after used to be you
Come, ruin me down
Break me down
Break me down

What if I wanted to smash
What if I, what if I, what if I (bury me, bury me)
