Night Riots - Don't Kill The Messenger Lyrics






I'm in love with fire
I'm in love with fire
I'm in love with pain
Cut a God-shaped hole in a broken soul
Feeding off the fame

And what could I do?
What could I change?
We are not the same
I'm a voiceless mess
Just obsessed with sex
Sucked the night's black tongue

I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
But I can't act and I just deserve
Thinking don't kill the messenger
Don't kill, don't kill
Don't kill the messenger

You're in love with fire
You're in love with fire
And you are never wrong
Try it hard, save yourself, play your parts
Stay on your back where you belong

I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
But I can't act and I just deserve
Thinking don't kill the messenger
I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
Don't kill, don't kill
Don't kill the messenger

Don't even know where I start
Would I even make a spark?
Trust enough to break the dark, oh
If I could set my light
Sometimes the end is not too far
Set a fire through the night

I'm awake the whole night through
Saying don't kill...
Children vanishing in the news
Saying don't kill...

I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
But I can't act and I just deserve
Thinking don't kill the messenger
I'm no center of the universe
Thinking don't kill the messenger
Don't kill, don't kill
Don't kill the messenger
Don't kill, don't kill
Don't kill the messenger

    "I’m in love with fire I’m in love with fire I’m in love with pain
    Got a god-shaped hole and
    A broken soul feeding off of fame What could I do what could I
    change? We are not the same
    I’m a voiceless mess just obsessed with sex Suck the night’s black
    tongue
    I’m no center of the universe Thinking don’t kill the messenger I can
    act not just observe Thinking Don’t kill the messenger
    You're in love with fire you're in love with fire And you are never wrong
    Lion heart save yourself play your part
    Stay on your back where you belong
    I’m no center of the universe Thinking don’t kill the messenger I can
    act not just observe Thinking Don’t kill the messenger
    I don’t know where I'd start Would I even make a spark? Just enough
    to break the dark If I could set one light Sometimes embers multiply
    Set a fire through the night
    I’m awake the whole night through Saying don’t kill the messenger
    Children vanishing in the news Saying don’t kill the messenger"

  4. f.... ....

    A little known fact about this song is that the band wrote it after Microsoft announced that they'll kill Windows Live Messenger back in 2012

  5. X.... ....

    I’m in love with fire I’m in love with fire I’m in love with pain
    Got a god-shaped hole and

    I’m a voiceless mess just obsessed with sex Suck the night’s black
    tongue
    I’m no center of the universe Thinking don’t kill the messenger I can

  6. S.... S....

    @2:12 , this part reminds of another song but donno which, does anybody have an idea?

  7. T.... E....

    Maybe to sing without chewing tobacco in your mouth ...or... put the fucking lyrics in the drop....

  8. H.... M....

    This is probably my favorite song by Night Riots.

  9. T.... A....

    So fucking good

  10. A.... S....

    Sounds just like the singer for The Killers

  11. T.... R....

    good song... but I miss your rock vibe... it seems like uve added more of a poppy sound to your music. But everyone changes and experiences new things! Still very good music :) Love you guys!

  12. A.... U....

    I like this a lot love the 80's vibe

  13. D.... ....

    Dunno why but when I heard this on the radio, I was like, oh shit this band sounds just like Depeche Mode. Really good vibes, love the song.

  14. M.... ....

    That's some good weed man

  15. n.... ....

    Absolutely addictive song. Some of those lyrics are beyond profound. My favorite : suck the night's black tongue. I'd never think to write that in my lifetime. Really paints a picture of giving in.

  16. C.... O....

    a mix between duran duran, depeche mode and white lies :D

  17. D.... ....

    Did they take a sample from a Depeche Mode song? It definitely sounds like it.

  18. E.... A....

    Anyone else getting a strong Depeche Mode vibe in the best way possible?

    E.... A....

    Emma Anderson totally!

  19. M.... B....

    I love this so much!

  20. T.... W....

    Welp I guess Sumerian found their version of, The 1975

    T.... W....

    So much better than the 1975. This is not their best song. The EPs are where ppl should be looking.

    T.... W....

    Wait, is the band that used to be PK?

    T.... W....

    Sure is! Saw Night Riots open for Blaqk Audio and was converted that night. Very rare I go into a show not knowing the opener and leave a superfan. "Contagious" should be all over the place.

    T.... W....

    The used to play shows in Fresno with From Indian Lakes 4 or 5 years ago. I forgot about them until seen this.

    T.... W....

    Cool! Never listened to them as PK, were they good? Really like FIL, too.

  21. l.... ....

    great song, and this MV really cool, i like it!!!

  22. C.... J....

    It's a very post-punk sound, I dig it. It's like classic rock, goth rock, and nu wave had a baby, with light industrial elements.

  23. M.... ....

    they get better and better, love you! btw thanks for visiting mx

  24. A.... M....

    Just discovered these guys a couple of months ago... I appreciate the obvious nods to 80's influences but I appreciate even more that they aren't a throwback or cover band. They are the real deal. Look forward to witnessing their eventual rise into the mainstream.

  25. R.... M....

    Did the main guitar riff remind anyone else of It's My Life by Bon Jovi? 😁

  26. P.... ....

    Guitar sounds like its been Kemper amp hacked from 'Enjoy the Silence' by Depeche Mode.

    P.... ....

    totally agree

    P.... ....

    Panopticon

  27. G.... A....

    Lyrics pls ^^'

    G.... A....

    I'm in love with fire
    I'm in love with fire
    I'm in love with pain
    Got a God-shaped hole and a broken soul
    Feeding off of fame

    And what could I do?
    What could I change?
    We are not the same
    I'm a voiceless mess
    Just obsessed with sex
    Suck the night's black tongue

    I'm no center of the universe
    Thinking don't kill the messenger
    But I can act, not just observe
    Thinking don't kill the messenger
    Don't kill, don't kill
    Don't kill the messenger

    You're in love with fire
    You're in love with fire
    And you are never wrong
    Lion heart, save yourself, play your part
    Stay on your back where you belong

    I'm no center of the universe
    Thinking don't kill the messenger
    But I can act, not just observe
    Thinking don't kill the messenger
    I'm no center of the universe
    Thinking don't kill the messenger
    Don't kill, don't kill
    Don't kill the messenger

    I don't know where I'd start
    Would I even make a spark?
    Just enough to break the dark, oh
    If I could set one light
    Sometimes embers multiply
    Set a fire through the night

    I'm awake the whole night through
    Saying don't kill...
    Children vanishing in the news
    Saying don't kill...

    I'm no center of the universe
    Thinking don't kill the messenger
    But I can act, not just observe
    Thinking don't kill the messenger
    I'm no center of the universe
    Thinking don't kill the messenger
    Don't kill, don't kill
    Don't kill the messenger
    Don't kill, don't kill
    Don't kill the messenger

    you can just google it if the lyrics aren't in the video

  28. J.... R....

    Honestly not what I'd expect from Sumerian. Not bad though, I'll give it that. 😂👍

  29. K.... S....

    Great song.

  30. K.... A....

    ITS SO EARLY AND I JUST SCREAMED THIS IS SO GOOD

  31. k.... ....

    Wow, that's very cool actually

  32. B.... C....

    Is it just me or does this sound like The Smiths? <3

  33. O.... N....

    It has this great 80s vibe. I like it. I could easily put this in a playlist with like The Safety Dance, Separate Ways, etc. It even feels like it was a song in GTA Vice City.

    O.... N....

    Depece Mode'esque guitar riff

  34. #.... c....

    that is awesome!🤘🤘

  35. S.... ....

    Isn't Sumerian like metal and core stuff?

    S.... ....

    They're pretty all around actually but are mainly known for their metal bands and stuff...this stuff is good but it just feels meh to me

  36. T.... O....

    Oh, hell yeah!

  37. C.... P....
