Lyrics

The time has come

The anticipated period has arrived

I can't avoid confrontation anymore

Avoidance of conflict is no longer possible

I've been imprisoned too long and now I'm hearing things

Feeling mentally confined for too long, experiencing auditory hallucinations

Don't know where they're coming from

Uncertain about the source of these auditory perceptions

Nothing more than static sound

Hearing indistinct noise

And it hurts my ears

The noise is causing physical pain

I'm feeling numb inside

Emotionally detached and desensitized

It hurts my ears

The sound is causing physical discomfort

I'm feeling numb

Emotionally numbed by the experience

I hear whispers

Perceiving faint voices

They are calling me home

Voices urging a return to a familiar place

Can I trust your judgment to guide me to a safe place

Questioning reliance on someone else's judgment for safety

I feel nothing, but I'm ready

Feeling detached but prepared for something

Lost my purpose, but it's my fight

Lost sense of purpose but willing to fight

I feel nothing, but I'm ready

Emotionally detached yet prepared

Although I'm damaged, it feels alright

Despite feeling damaged, being okay with it

I'm holding on for The year of the gallows

Enduring for a specific time of reckoning or trial

I'm settling for A life full of shame

Accepting a life filled with dishonor or disgrace

I'm holding on to The year of the gallows

Enduring for a specific time of reckoning or trial

I'm settling for A heart of a coward

Accepting a cowardly nature or mindset

(I've) been trapped in between hardship and a heartache

Feeling caught between difficult situations

Not sure what feels worse, but it's tearing me apart

Uncertain about which situation is more distressing, causing internal conflict

I reach for an overdose of compassion

Seeking excessive empathy or understanding

But all I've been offered is a needle filled with rejection

Receiving rejection instead of the desired compassion

I'm holding on for The year of the gallows

Enduring for a specific time of reckoning or trial

I'm settling for A life full of shame

Accepting a life filled with dishonor or disgrace

I'm holding on to The year of the gallows

Enduring for a specific time of reckoning or trial

I'm settling for A heart of a coward

Accepting a cowardly nature or mindset

And when it all comes together

Anticipation of a conclusion or resolution

The clock stops ticking

Symbolic cessation of time or events

Finally this is the moment, for I am done

Reaching a definitive moment of conclusion or decision

This is the fucking end

Expressing finality and extreme frustration

Into the noose

A graphic reference to being hung by a noose

Feet off the ground

Being suspended off the ground

And let this go

Releasing or surrendering

Into the noose

A graphic reference to being hung by a noose

Feet off the ground

Being suspended off the ground

And let me

Requesting release or surrender
