IT’S EASY TO KILL – AERYA Lyrics
It's easy to kill
That's the terrible thing
Not with a knife
Not with a gun
Not with blood on your hands
Or a body to run from
No, no
That's amateur work
You can kill with a sentence
Said soft in the kitchen
You can kill with a silence
That feels like religion
You can kill with a look
From across the room
You can kill a girl slowly
And call it the truth
It's easy to kill
Easy, easy
It's easy to kill
Believe me, believe me
You don't need poison
You don't need steel
Just make her feel
Like she isn't real
It's easy to kill
Easy, easy
It's easy to kill
Believe me, believe me
No one will see it
No one will know
Just break her heart
And let her go
He never raised his voice
That was the worst part
He kept his hands clean
And still touched my scars
He said, "You're too much"
With a face so calm
Like he wasn't setting fire
To a little girl's charm
And I laughed
Because women like me
We laugh at the funeral
Before we admit
We are the thing being buried
How chic
How sick
How very British of me
It's easy to kill
Easy, easy
It's easy to kill
Believe me, believe me
You don't need poison
You don't need steel
Just make her feel
Like she isn't real
It's easy to kill
Easy, easy
It's easy to kill
Believe me, believe me
No one will see it
No one will know
Just break her heart
And let her go
My mother said, "Darling
You look a bit pale"
I said, "I'm just tired"
A beautiful tale
My sister said, "Eat"
My mirror said, "Run"
My phone stayed quiet
Like a loaded gun
And there I was
Still breathing
How rude
How inconvenient
How unlike the story
He thought he had written
Because men like him
They never do murder
They just leave the room
And call it closure
It's easy to kill
Easy, easy
It's easy to kill
Believe me, believe me
You don't need poison
You don't need steel
Just make her feel
Like she isn't real
It's easy to kill
Easy, easy
It's easy to kill
Believe me, believe me
No one will see it
No one will know
Just break her heart
And let her go
But baby
Here's the twist
I did not die
I just went quiet
For a little while
I washed my face
I changed my sheets
I learned his name
Was not a prophecy
And now when I pass him
I smile so sweet
Like a woman who knows
Where the bodies sleep
It's easy to kill
Easy, easy
It's easy to kill
Believe me, believe me
It's very easy to kill
So long as no one suspects
That the dead girl left a witness
And she's coming for you next
