The Killer With-In



The killer in you
Is the killer in me
What I choose is my choice
What I do is because it's what I want to do
So have this in the back of your head
This killer in you
Is the killer in me
Yes it will come out
Just give it time
Soon it will be too late
To save you
Let alone save me
Cause the killer in you
Is the killer in me
Until now it was buried deep within
But you had to dig it up
Now all  those around me will have to suffer
Now everyone has to deal with my pain
Living with the torment daily
That I know you will bring
Be cautious, be aware, be afraid
Be careful what you do
Be careful what you see
Because the killer in you
Is the killer in me.
