Killing Man Lyrics

If I said I was sorry would you forget the things I've done
I don't know why I even worry
I don't believe in anyone
'Cause in my sleep I'm still running from the demons and the ghosts
That in the night I hear coming
They're coming back for what I stole 'cause I am a killing man
I am
I am a killing man

Some believe in the devil but who are they to know
How dare they give a face to evil when they're the ones loving the show
They don't know that I am a killing man
I am
Yes
I am just another man doing what is said and told
Just like you my friend
We all sell our souls
Please don't make it hard when I come around for you
It's not personal
It's just what I do 'cause I am a killing man
I am
Yes
I am a killing man

There will be a moment in time when I find the strength to take a stand
And I will look into my stone cold eyes and I will kill the killing man
'Cause I will kill this killing man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Jack mentioned in a YouTube video, before playing this song live that this song was about a man he met in a bar who killed his wife with a shotgun - Believe it or not!

He then made this song afterwards.

So in my opinion, this song is about regret.
