Description
"A thousand years isn't long enough to forget all the mistakes you've made, but it's just long enough to forget the faces of those you've loved. In chess, the Fool's Mate is a strategy to get yourself checkmated in just two moves. I learned that this was a thing when I did it in a game against my teacher. (I'm very, very bad at chess.)" |
Lyrics[]
If I were a noble man,
I would stand on the edge of the world as it faded out
I would never look away
And if I were a better man,
I would hold in my hand the key to save them all
I would throw it all away
Slowly the voices of life after life
Fill my heart with a silent song
Time after time I will listen to them fall
As the world tears itself apart
Mother, please forgive me
Father, I'm a good man
I just want to let go
I don't know if I can
All of my regrets are
Coming back to haunt me
Digging in my mind and
Staying there to taunt me
Say you'll never let go
Tell me what I don't know
I want to forget, though
I can never know, so
Mother, please forgive me
Father, I'm a good man
What have I done now?
What have I done now?
If I were a gentle man,
I would free all the monsters that I've gone and locked away
I would pry them from their chains
And if I were a mortal man,
I would save all the people that I've gone and hurt for naught
I would see another day
But that's not me, I am not a human man
I'm a monster by my own hand
Time after time I will be there to regret
All the choices I've ruined in a life long past
And I don't know what I've done to deserve this curse
That I've only brought upon myself
Say what you will, I have heard it all before
Now I just want these memories to let me go
[Chorus x2]
