End of the World/A Game of Chess
My cousin hung himself
In the backyard from a tree
My uncle drank himself to death
There's always blood
Deep beneath the roots that we bury
The fruit's been rotting from the seed
No!
My grandpa sank
Somewhere in the South China Sea
In 1943
He never talked about it to me
I was born from pain
I never had a chance in hell to be
Anything but this family disease
I'll help you break these chains
It's the end of the world
And all we have left
Are memories of the love we kept
So darling, don't be afraid
There is nothing to fear
Even when I'm gone, I'll always be near
At the end of the world
(At the end of the world)
I promise I will be there
My father told me that he never should've had kids
My mother is a narcissist (la, la, la, la)
I promise that my pain won't be your coffin nail
I promise that I'll heal for you
So I'll burn these open wounds
I'll do it all for you
It's the end of the world
And all we have left
Are memories of the love we kept
So darling, don't be afraid
There is nothing to fear
Even when I'm gone, I'll always be near
At the end of the world
(At the end of the world)
I promise I will be there
Ache of my youth is killing me
I promise to heal, to find a remedy
I've been poisoned, and I've been cursed
But when I look into your eyes, I see the universe
The ache of my youth is killing me
I promise to heal, to find a remedy
I've been poisoned, and I've been cursed
When I look into your eyes, I see the universe
I'll help you break these chains
It's the end of the world
And all we have left
Are memories of the love we kept
So darling don't be afraid, there is nothing to fear
Even when I'm gone, I'll always near
At the end of the world
(At the end of the world)
I promise I will be there
It's the end of the world
And all we have left
Are memories of the love we kept
So darling don't be afraid, there is nothing to fear
Even when I'm gone, I'll always be there
In the backyard from a tree
My uncle drank himself to death
There's always blood
Deep beneath the roots that we bury
The fruit's been rotting from the seed
