Kill You
Korn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life, pain is God
Many nights, painful thoughts occur
Yell at me, again I'm wong
In denial, I tried to be your friend
I tried to be a good boy
All I see, a hate deep inside
Startle me, someone save me
Now, these memories
Fill my heart
They bury me
All I wanna do (you are not my real mother)
Is kill you (should I beat and stab and fuck her)
All I wanna do (you are not my real mother)
Is kill you (should I beat and stab and fuck her)
All I wanna do (you are not my real mother)
Is kill you (should I beat and stab and fuck her)
All I wanna do (you are not my real mother)
Is kill you (should I beat and stab and fuck her)
Looking back, I was never ever right
You were my step-mom, who always wanted me out of your sight
I would come walking in, and I'd say "Hello"
But you'd slap me and you'd make some fucked up comment about my clothes
Then I tried to let it pass, but the visions in my head
Were with you with a knife up your ass
Laying dead, so I pop some more
Caps in your ass, now your son is not so fun
Motherfucking bitch, never try to play me
You made my life
Not so
All I wanna do
Is kill you
All I wanna do
Is kill you
All I wanna do (you are not my real mother)
Is kill you (should I beat and stab and fuck her)
All I wanna do (you are not my real mother)
Is kill you (should I beat and stab and fuck her)
Wish
You
Were dead
Now
How
I know
How can I
Cry over
Someone I never loved?
So how can I
Cry over someone
I never loved?
Never loved
Never loved
You ready you fucking middle guide?
Use the force, dude
I'm gonna use the force, here we go
Twist, twist
Twist, twist
Twist, twist
Twist, twist
