I killed a man in California
I swear I thought it was just a dream
cs time moves past me I start wondering:
Will I ever be the same?
I killed a man in California
With a knife and a ball n' chain
I killed a man in California
Nobody even knew his name

Oh what a man he used to be
Head high while walking down the street
He said ""I'm broken, my heart is sore
So take me out of my misery""
Eats me alive, damn I can't sleep
He's somewhere buried underneath (me)
He comes around when I get bored
I sold my soul so I could eat
I killed a man in California!

Young, dumb, and scared
That kid barely could survive
I told him ""Get your nose clean""
We both screamed
So I have to take his life
I hope he counts his blessings
Cause where he's heading
The water's about to get cold
I hope he screams
cnd maybe someone will hear him
Before I lose my control
I played along to the wrong things
I played a fool and now I won't sing
I hate the hate that's still in my soul
I killed a man and now I want peace
I killed a man and now he won't breathe no more
I think I hit a new low
He struck a nerve the way he spoke
Too bad he ran too slow
Said he struck a nerve the way he walked
Too bad he ran too slow
Go get that man, I'mma kill that man
Too bad he ain't make it home

(Oh what a man he used to be
Head high while walking down the street
He said ""I'm broken, my heart is sore, so-"")
I killed a man in California!
(-I can't sleep
He's somewhere buried underneath me
He come's around when I get bored, I-)
I killed a man in California!

Keep running, running, running
You won't make it through the night!
I met a boy in California
cnd I'm leaving with his life!
Keep running, running, running
You won't make it out alive!
I swear!
Put it on my life
I swear!
I killed a man in California!
