Hangman
Spite Lyrics

Learning to walk
Starting fresh and new in life, with a lot to learn

Held by stilts
Being cautious in life with a constant fear of falling or failing

A taste of the pavement might be the answer
Sometimes taking a hard fall can bring clarity and help in moving forward

To kill my last thought
To let go of the past and move forward with a fresh perspective

Anything to not be here
Avoiding or running away from situations

Like it makes a difference
The outcome would have remained unchanged irrespective of the choices made

How many nails to hold my head still?
Numbing the mind to avoid emotions or thoughts

One more day in the life and I will fucking end it
Life has become unbearable, and there seems to be no way out

They can't hear you screaming out of desperation
Sometimes no matter how much we cry out for help, it falls upon deaf ears

This ones full of led
Referring to a bullet, as if one has lost all their chances for escape

Contemplating my existence after everything you've said
Questioning self-worth due to criticism received from others

Another night to ponder it
Another sleepless night overthinking everything

Creature takes form on the way down
A sense of self-realization in the process of falling down

It has no name
Abstract feelings or emotions, hard to identify or express

It resides in Hell
Difficult experiences or memories that are hard to overcome

I won't fake it any longer
Tired of putting up a facade, and pretending to be okay

Breathe in through the mask
Putting on a brave face and keeping emotions hidden

And realize that by accepting eminent death
Realizing that there is no escaping the hard truth, and coming to terms with it

We can begin to tolerate the surrounding air shared by everyone
Accepting the present situation not just for oneself, but for the people around us as well

When all that's left is descent
When everything seems to be going downhill and life gets harder

We are finally free
Accepting the current situation results in a sense of freedom

There is no more hate held between, because we understand
Realizing that everyone has their own struggles and accepting them for who they are

That the feeling is the same when our hearts stop
Regardless of the life one lived or the struggles one went through, death is a common end for all

Creature takes form on the way down
Referring to self-discovery and self-realization during difficult times

It has no name
Abstract feelings or emotions, hard to identify or express

It resides in Hell
Refers to the pain or trauma one goes through during difficult times

Taped to the back of my fucking lids
The pain, memories or trauma that constantly haunt one's mind

Come take a look through the lens in my head
Inviting someone to experience the pain or trauma firsthand

Pain lasts below the soil
The hurt or pain that is buried deep within oneself

Just know
An assurance to someone that they can trust and depend on the other person

This life was set to fail
Life is far from perfect, and sometimes it feels like it is set up to fail right from the start

I won't be forced to live it
No one should have to endure an unbearable or unsatisfactory life
