Killer
Sam Stucky Lyrics

I've tried and I've tried I've killed and I've lied
I have put in extensive effort, resorting to extreme measures, including deception and harm.

Anything to get your attention
I would do anything just to capture your focus and interest.

I wrote twenty lines about the look in your eyes
I composed numerous verses describing the significance of your gaze.

But hearing them didn't cause you to see
Unfortunately, listening to those lines failed to make you truly understand.

Sang you the works from a ten story building
I performed songs passionately from a tall structure, pouring my heart out for you.

But Spotify has nothing on me
Even though Spotify may offer a wide variety of music, my delivery surpasses its capabilities.

'Cause your headphones play what you tell them to play
Your headphones only play the songs you personally select.

And you shut them off when your headphones play me
However, you immediately stop listening when one of my songs begins to play.

We're not on the same wavelength
We do not share the same frequency or understanding.

If I'm an x-ray, you're a crest in the sea
Comparatively, I see through things like an x-ray while you remain on the surface like a wave's crest.

But that doesn't mean that I can't keep on trying
Regardless, I won't give up and will continue my efforts.

To get you, to fix you and me
In order to bring us closer and reconcile our relationship.

I die every time on your Facebook timeline
I experience immense disappointment whenever I see your activities on Facebook.

It takes longer to get back to me
Your response to my messages or attempts to communicate takes an extended period of time.

Search for a picture that will give me a reason
I try to discover a photo that will provide me with a clue or explanation.

Those pictures are like a one year story
Those images symbolize a narrative that spans a whole year.

But you only read mainly fiction and scripture
However, you mostly consume works of fiction and religious texts.

And there's no room for these fantasies
Consequently, there is no space in your life for these imaginative scenarios.

And the light that you need when you sit down to read
The illumination you require for reading comes from a different source.

Comes from elsewhere, a place that I'll never be
It originates from a distant location where I will never have access.

Oh maybe I can be the slippers on your feet
Perhaps I can occupy a role as familiar and comfortable as the slippers you wear.

Or the apple that keeps you so healthy
Alternatively, I can be the nourishment that contributes to your well-being.

I'm content to be a flower by the tree
I am satisfied with being a delicate blossom situated near a tree.

Just so long as you notice me daily
As long as you acknowledge my presence each day.

But from what I am sensing it seems like you're sensing
However, based on my observations, it appears that you are perceiving something different.

Something different entirely
Something completely unrelated or distinct.

And it don't make no sense how'd it end up like this
The current circumstances defy logic and reason, creating confusion.

I'm a killer, I'm so sorry
Metaphorically, my actions and pursuit may cause harm, for which I express remorse.
