lyrics

I killed a man
With my own hands
I want you to notice
Or someone else

I killed a man
With my own hands
I tried to regret it
But it was defense

I killed a man
With my bare hands
I need you to notice
Or someone else

Oh, hands!
They killed him
I had to kill him
To save me

I killed a man
With my own hands
When he was on his way home
I punched him in the neck

There was no witness there
At least none I could see
To see me carry the weight
To make his dead body sink

There's nothing I feel
Nothing to pretend
Only one question left:
Will his body ascend?

Last night I
I pictured your face
After I told you that
You got a dead best friend

When I saw your face last night
I looked you in the eye
That's when I found out that I...

I saw a cop car last night
No need for an alibi
That's when I found out that I...
I committed the perfect crime
