Lyrics for "Couldn’t Have Done The Killing":

Couldn’t have done the killing, I just fell apart
paint me as your villain If you need a brand new start
Often through my dreams, In early morning,
you appear and then you seem to let the storm in

Leave your weapons at the door
Leave your weapons at the door
'Cause you don’t need them, you don’t need them
Cause I’m not your killer anymore
I’m not your killer anymore...

Premeditated, still on the loose
simply walked away, nothing really left to lose
I was your accomplice, your second sight
I didn’t want this, hard to tell the wrong from right

Leave your weapons at the door
Leave your weapons at the door
You don’t need them, you don’t need them
Cause I’m not your killer anymore
I’m not your killer anymore
I’m not your killer anymore
I’m not your killer anymore

Couldn't Have Done the Killing is off of my new album The Path of the Clouds, out now on Sacred Bones Records and Bella Union Records.
