Bitter End
Fit for a King Lyrics

I am broken by my birthright
My fate seems predetermined and flawed by my very existence.

And made to die by design
The purpose of my life feels like it is destined to lead to my death.

I was put on this earth to fail you
My existence seems to be inherently flawed, as if my purpose is to disappoint you.

Why do you put your faith in me?
I don't understand why you would trust me when I feel so incapable and destined to fail.

I will let you down
I know that I am going to fail you, despite your belief in me.

I will give you a reason to hate me
My shortcomings will become so pronounced that they will invoke feelings of anger or animosity towards me.

I will give you a reason to despise me
My actions or failures will be critical, leading you to hold contempt or disgust for me.

I never thought I'd see the day
I never imagined that I would come face to face with my shortcomings so prominently.

When I'd see my maker face to face
It feels like I am coming face to face with my creator, and having to take responsibility for my choices and actions.

Every sin accounted for
All of the actions or choices that have contributed to my fall and shortcomings, are coming to light.

Every bad decision I ever made
All of the poor or misguided choices that I made are clearly coming into focus.

Little did I know this would all lead up to this
I didn't realize that my choices would result in such an intense moment of reckoning.

This is my time
This is the moment of consequence that I have been inevitably building towards.

This is my breaking point
This is the moment where I feel like I have lost control, like I cannot endure anymore.

I'll pay my price
I am willing to accept the punishment or repercussions for my actions.

Just please don't let me miss
I am pleading for mercy, asking to not miss the chance to reconcile or gain forgiveness.

My peace of mind
Ultimately, I am searching for inner peace, something that has been elusive.

I'll even die for this
I am willing to put everything on the line for the sake of redemption and resolution.

God ease my soul
I am asking for a sense of relief or guidance from a higher power.

And don't let me forget
I am trying to stay focused on the fact that I have agency, and can make choices to avoid failure.

That there is nothing forcing me to a bitter end
Ultimately, there is nothing that obligates me to fail or experience a negative outcome.

I can't stand another day in my head
The mental anguish and stress is becoming too much to bear.

All the pain
The deep emotional or psychological suffering that I am going through.

All the lies
The self-deception or false narratives that have led to this point in my life.

It's wearing me thin
The cumulative weight of my problems is becoming unbearable.

Why can't I just follow you?
I am searching for guidance or an external moral compass for relief.

Oh God, it's taking over
The sense of being overwhelmed or out of control is becoming all-consuming.

This is a takeover
The negative forces within me have seized control.

My eyes have learned to lust
My desires and motivations have become warped and corrupted over time.

And my mind was molded to betray you
My perception of reality and my moral compass has been compromised.

I've let this spite fill my lungs
I have allowed negative feelings of anger and contempt to dominate my thoughts and actions.

This will not be my bitter end
I reject the idea that my fate is sealed or that I am destined to fail.

Bitter end
A reference to the negative, painful and potentially fatal outcome that is to be avoided.
