Its not like I made myself a list of new and different ways,
To murder your heart.
I'm just a painting that's still wet.
If you touch me Ill be smeared, you'll be stained,
Stained for the rest of your life.

So turn around and walk away
Before we confuse the way, we abuse each other.
If your not afraid of getting hurt
Then I am not afraid of how much I hurt you
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself.

Are you aware I'm a danger to others?
There's a crack in my soul, you thought was a smile.
What ever doesn't kill you,
Is gonna leave a scar
What ever doesn't kill you,
Is gonna leave a scar
I'm more like a silver bullet
Than I'm like a gun,
I'm not easy to hold.

I'm moving fast and if I stay in your heart,
I'm certain that this will be the end of your life
So turn around walk away
Before we confuse the way we abuse each other
If your not afraid of getting hurt then I am not afraid

How much I hurt you
I'm well aware I'm a danger to myself
Are you aware I'm a danger to others?

    General Comment:I'm am almost completely sure this song is about his first break up from Evan Rachel Wood. He did become especially destructive after the break up, and listening to the song and understanding the words to it, it really does make sense for it to be about Evan.

    General Comment:Something sacred was broken, probably a marriage. The person feels like their heart was ripped out of their chest and is angry and wants revenge, being disgusted with the other person and seeing them as "damaged goods." Pretty deep song!

    General Comment:This song kind of seems to me like he feels he's almost tainted in a way..The way he talks about himself in the song..
    "And I'm not afraid of how much I hurt you"
    "There's a crack in my soul
    You thought it was a smile"
    "If I stay inside your heart I'm certain that this will be the end of your life"
    "But chances are I'm gonna to fuck you over"

    He could hurt her, and he knows he probably will, but goes ahead anyways, not caring about what he does to "murder her heart".

    Sometimes I want to be this heartless. Instead of being on the other side.

    General Comment:The first song of the album that leaped into my mind and stuck. Fantast-a-fucking-ic! I'd put it next to The Speed of Pain, in my book. The song says more than I ever could.
