Lyrics

Oh it's killing me

Expressing intense emotional pain or distress.

There’s a tumor of hate that growing inside of me

Describing a growing resentment or negativity within.

It's getting bigger and tries to consume me

Feeling overwhelmed as negativity tries to take over.

I know death will set me free

Contemplating that death might bring relief from suffering.


Drenched in sweat

Physical manifestation of stress through sweating.

I hear voices inside my head

Hearing disturbing inner thoughts or emotions.

I'm becoming their pet

Feeling controlled or influenced by negative thoughts.

I ignore them as a threat

Choosing to ignore the negative thoughts as a defense.

They show me real dark shit

Experiencing or being shown disturbing realities.

Knock me out of orbit

Feeling disoriented or disrupted from normal life.

I could try to forgive

Considering forgiveness as a response to negativity.

But unable to erase it

Struggling to erase or forget negative experiences.


Oh it's killing me

Reiterating the impact of internal distress.

There’s a tumor of hate that growing inside of me

Highlighting the growth of internal negativity.

It's getting bigger and tries to consume me

Expressing the overpowering nature of negativity.

I know death will set me free

Repeating the idea that death may bring relief.

But I failed to deliver

Acknowledging failure to find relief through death.

Because I'm scared of the mean grim reaper

Fearing the concept of death personified as the grim reaper.

I’ve got a feeling he's close around

Sensing the presence of death or danger.

I think he's out to get me now

Believing that death is actively pursuing.


Lose your blindfold

Encouraging self-awareness and facing reality.

Then try to regain control

Advising to regain control over one's life.

Over your mind, body, and soul

Emphasizing control over mind, body, and soul.

Or this world is gonna swallow you whole

Warning of the consequences of losing control.


See I may look like I'm feeling fine

Appearing fine externally while struggling internally.

But I'm barely standing on my feet

Barely coping with stress and emotional burden.

I’m stressed out of my mind and you're still buying time

Expressing frustration at others delaying or avoiding problems.

I can't wait to rest in peace

Eagerly anticipating rest from suffering through death.


You're still buying time

Repeating the frustration with others procrastinating.

While I can't wait to rest in peace

Reiterating the desire for peace through death.

Stressed out of my fucking mind

Expressing extreme stress and impatience.

I can't wait to rest in peace

Repeating the longing for peace through death.


Rest in peace

Final expression of the desire for peace in death.
