Killing for Company
Swans Lyrics

I couldn't stop myself
I lacked the self-control to prevent my own harmful behavior

I knew I'd do it again
I was aware that I would repeat this destructive action

But I could heal myself,
I felt that I could recover from the damage caused by my actions

If I could feel your skin
Your physical touch could provide me with the emotional support I need

And if I comprehend this moment
If I can fully understand the here and now

I know we'll live again
I believe that we will eventually be able to move past our current hardship

And if I heal your wound
If I am able to help you recover from your injury

We will make love again
Our intimacy and love for each other will continue despite our struggles

And now we're slipping through this millennium
We are living and experiencing the passage of time, and all that it brings with it

We should feel sorry for the people
We should have compassion and empathy towards others

Can I kiss your skin?
May I express my affection for you through physical actions?

And there's hunger in the desert.
There is great need and scarcity in certain areas of the world

And missiles in the sky
There are destructive weapons being used in conflicts worldwide

And every soul is interwoven
We are all connected, and our actions can have ripple effects on others

Before the wrong or right
Regardless of what is seen as moral or ethical, our actions have consequences

I know we'll live again
I trust that we will find a way to persevere and carry on with our lives

Though it's just a feeling
Despite not having any concrete evidence, I have a strong sense that everything will be okay

I know we'll never end
Our bond and relationship will persist, even if we face challenges and obstacles

I'll keep you company
I will stay by your side and provide support during difficult times
