Hit the Ground Lyrics
Anesthetized by these lies and I don't believe in truth
And I apologize but my sacrifice has nothing to do with you
'Cause I've been victimized like ocean size from the blood your needle drew
And I apologize but my demise has everything to do with you
Settle up with the devil, close the basement door
Full force on the shovel and unearth the floor
You were there one day but you're here no more
Like a stake through the heart and you played the whore
You stole my soul, kleptomaniac
I miss all the pain, I'll take my anger back
Love is a violent attack, love is a violent attack
You cut me down, I feel no pain now
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground, no need to feel now
My time here is all but done
All but done
Now I'm up in the attic where the rafter's strong
So many reasons to be tragic and the list is long
If you think I've lost hope you were never wrong
'Cause the churning of the rope is my battle song
Settle up with the devil, close the basement door
Full force on the shovel and unearth the floor
You we're there one day but you're here no more
Like a stake through the heart and you play the whore
'Cause you burned my soul, pyromaniac
You can embrace all the pain and take your anger back
Love is a violent attack, love is a violent attack
You cut me down, I feel no pain now
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground, no need to feel now
My time here is all but done
All but done
I can't stand on my own feet now
I can't crawl forever and a day
Felt like I was getting stronger
before you turned and walked away!
You cut me down, I feel no pain now
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground, no need to feel now
My time here is all but done
You cut me down, I feel no pain now
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground, no need to feel now
My time here is all but done
All but done
I apologize, but my demise has everything to do with you
(All but done)
I apologize, but my demise has everything to do with you
(All but done)
I apologize, but my demise has everything to do with you
And I apologize but my sacrifice has nothing to do with you
'Cause I've been victimized like ocean size from the blood your needle drew
And I apologize but my demise has everything to do with you
Full force on the shovel and unearth the floor
You were there one day but you're here no more
Like a stake through the heart and you played the whore
I miss all the pain, I'll take my anger back
Love is a violent attack, love is a violent attack
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground, no need to feel now
My time here is all but done
All but done
So many reasons to be tragic and the list is long
If you think I've lost hope you were never wrong
'Cause the churning of the rope is my battle song
Full force on the shovel and unearth the floor
You we're there one day but you're here no more
Like a stake through the heart and you play the whore
You can embrace all the pain and take your anger back
Love is a violent attack, love is a violent attack
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground, no need to feel now
My time here is all but done
All but done
I can't crawl forever and a day
Felt like I was getting stronger
before you turned and walked away!
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground, no need to feel now
My time here is all but done
This nightmare is almost through
I hit the ground, no need to feel now
My time here is all but done
All but done
(All but done)
I apologize, but my demise has everything to do with you
(All but done)
I apologize, but my demise has everything to do with you

sounds like someone REALLY important in his life just left him, in a horrible way, apparently.
The part about the attic sounds like he's planning to hang himself using the rafters in the attic and ropes.

the chorus:
You cut me down I feel no pain now This nightmare is almost through I hit the ground No need to feel now My time here is all but done All but done
after listening through it again and again, it seems to me this is more literal than figurative. just like the dude above me who talks about him hanging himself, which the song is undoubtedly about, the chorus is somebody literally cutting the rope he's hanging himself with, as he falls to the ground. it also kinda sounds like it was too late, and he's dead anyway
