End of the World / A Game of Chess Songtext
von Senses Fail

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
