lyrics

Killing Shoes

Dressed in her killing shoes she walked right up to me
hey don’t I recognize you? oh god don’t hurt me please
she laughed and said relax let’s not pretend you’d leave
I glimpsed you cross the floor could tell you wanted me

Her earrings caught the light of the cold crescent moon
I felt my mouth go dry I simply could not move
she spun a web of lies she swore it was the truth
I wore myself out in fright she wore those killing shoes

I wasn’t always this chica crashing in front of you
gorgeous and radiant once I was just like you
I was a kid with dreams they woke me up oh I grew
I wasn’t always the one who wore the killing shoes

I feel real bad for her she can’t help what she is
I’m not the victim here I leaned in for a kiss

I’m just a mirror of stone all flipped around inside
I’m just some virgin whore I’m some guy’s widowed bride
you will not ever face such things as I have survived
you must not cry my love it’s just a spider bite

she’s just a desperate thing only comes out at night
you glimpse her cross the floor and love her till you die
she’s like the rest of us she can’t tell wrong from right
she’s just a dream I know I’ll wake up and be fine
