Lyrics of
The Kill

The Kill (Bury Me) by 30 Seconds to Mars originated from a confrontation between lead vocalist Jared Leto and his brother Shannon Leto. Amidst a period of disagreements and strife within the band, Jared was inspired to write the song as a means to voice his emotions and combat what he viewed as attempts to bury his spirit by others.

What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn’t take this any…more
What would you do?

Come,Break me down
Bury me, Bury me
I am finished With you

What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for
I'm notrunning from you

Come,Break me down
Bury me, Bury me
I am finished With you
Look in my eyes
You’re killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance
I know now, this is who I really am

Come,Break me down
Bury me, Bury me
I am finished With you
Look in my eyes
You’re killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
