"Don't Kill The Messenger" lyrics

"Don't Kill The Messenger"

I'm in love with fire
I'm in love with fire
I'm in love with pain
Got a God-shaped hole and a broken soul
Feeding off of fame

And what could I do?
What could I change?
We are not the same
I'm a voiceless mess
Just obsessed with sex
Suck the night's black tongue

I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
But I can act, not just observe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
Don't kill, don't kill
Don't kill the messenger

You're in love with fire
You're in love with fire
And you are never wrong
Lion heart, save yourself, play your part
Stay on your back where you belong

I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
But I can act, not just observe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
Don't kill, don't kill
Don't kill the messenger

I don't know where I'd start
Would I even make a spark?
Just enough to break the dark, oh
If I could set one light
Sometimes embers multiply
Set a fire through the night

I'm awake the whole night through
Saying don't kill...
Children vanishing in the news
Saying don't kill...

I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
But I can act, not just observe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
Don't kill, don't kill
Don't kill the messenger
Don't kill, don't kill
Don't kill the messenger
