[Verse 1]
We are assassins
We are not evil
We act with reason and heart
Your heart
We are not vicious
Is that surprising?
We're so much larger than life

[Chorus]
I, Assassin, I am
I, Assassin, I am

[Post-Chorus]
"I just arrived
Something to fix
This new depression"

[Verse 2]
We are not hunters
We are just patient
We'll wait a lifetime for you
Just you
I've never felt good
I've never felt bad
I've never felt much at all

[Chorus]
I, Assassin, I am
I, Assassin, I am

[Post-Chorus]
"There's nothing personal
Just read the papers
That's real"
