Hangman
Sick Minds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Because every day is more of the same.
Another nail in my coffin, securing the lid.
Reminder of my sins, of all that I did.
I’m chained to doubt, I'll never be free.
Of the crippling fear; the anxiety.
Everything in my past brings me nothing but shame,
I can’t forget the shit that you said,
It burrowed its way inside of my head.
Another promise that I didn’t keep,
I’m just a fuck that got in too deep.
Times been wasted on both of our parts,
Wish you never were the one to take my heart.
I am a liar, just a fucking thief.
I go against my every belief.
I’ll wave goodbye, and wish you well.
It's too late for me, I'll see you in hell.
This was a gamble that came up a loss,
Sick of carrying the weight of my cross
I’ll take my life since it's all that I got,
Tie the noose to my neck and check the knot.
Place my feet on the edge of stool,
I’ll never make another fool.
I’m a joke and this punchline’s my choice,
You’ll never again have to hear my voice.
