Blood

Dm                         Gm           F      Em
Silence slights spirits of those gone into the night
Bb                  A
   But what was the cost?
     Dm   C      G
Do I justify the loss
Gm                   A             Dm        C      Bb
   When a loss of control would be digging myself a hole?
Gm                A
   It couldn't be worth it

[Chorus]

Dm
  I'm a killer
Dm
  I'm a killer
Dm
  I'm a killer
              F         A         Bb
But I've been killing myself all along
    F         Am        Bb
Had I done my best to protect innocence
       F          Em          Dm
Or did I lead the wolf to the fawn?

[Verse 2]

Dm
Watch your words
               Bb     F       C
Keep them from bothering the herd
Bb             A
Provoking the stones
     Dm   C       G
That they all can throw
Bb                A
No, I won't carry on
 Dm          C           Bb
Living this life that I stole
   Gm           A
It just isn't worth it

[Chorus 2]

Dm
  I'm a killer
Dm
  I'm a killer
Dm Dm
  I'm a killer
                F      A         Bb
But I've been killing myself all along
  F           A              Bb
Divining the right from the wrong
    F         A          Bb       Dm
Had I done my best to protect innocence
        Bb               C
Or was something more wicked in store?

[Verse 3]

         Bb          C
Is there villainy inside of me?
    Bb
In search of worth
       C
Have I burned the earth?
           Bb               Dm
There's no passion in being passive
        F                      C
And no inaction could bring an answer
        Bb
So for you, I am a killer
