Humane Slaughter Lyrics

I don't need sleep
Exhaustion is nothing compared to my urges to end life
Nights in the streets
Bludgeoned and stabbing my way through the darkness to first light

No, don't think me a monster
Because I take my pleasures in death
From where I stand it is mercy
Humane slaughter

Can’t you see I'm just trying to do them a favor?
Life is all downhill from here, I just want them to be spared
They've all had such good lives up until this point
But now, I get to fucking kill them
And how they fucking die, I decide
Some call it psychopathic I call it a win-win

Maybe a pair of lovers? Walking home from the perfect date
Maybe a pair of runners? Who like to exercise at night
Maybe a pair of brothers? Just drinking beers and watching the game
Maybe some babies and their mothers? Maternal love and innocence incarnate slain

This is how I'll kill you all
Come up from behind, quietly raise my crowbar high
The weight of my selfishness cracking through your fucking heads
Take my knife, brain stem severed at speed of light to make certain you don't suffer
Murdered in kind

Because killing’s not the problem
Surely it's the manner of death
Death for simple pleasure is deemed fair trade
Insane to be so humane

Humane Slaughter, oxy-moronic
If I painlessly kill someone you love
Does less suffrage justify ending life
Or does dead mean fucking dead; it's not your place to decide

Humane Slaughter, oxy-moronic
When it’s forced upon innocent beings who don’t want to die
If death by kind is fine for enslaved beasts on the farm
Why not strangers free to walk the streets I prowl in the night

Dead is fucking dead
Humane Slaughter?
Dead is fucking dead
Don’t try to sugar-coat it
