End Of The World / A Game Of Chess

End Of The World / A Game Of Chess Lyrics

My cousin hung himself in the back yard from a tree
My uncle drank himself to death
There is always blood deep beneath the roots that we bury
The fruit's been rotten from the seed

My Grandpa sank somewhere in the South China Sea in 1943, he never talked about it to me
I was born from pain and 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
I promise I will be there

My father told me that he never should have had kids
My mother is a narcissist
I promise that my pain won't be your coffin nail
I promise that I'll heal for you and I'll sew up all 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
I promise I will be there

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
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
But when I look into your eyes I see the Universe

It's the end of the world and all we have left
Are memories of the love that 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
I promise I will be there

It's the end of the world and all we have left
Are memories of the love that we kept
So darling don't be afraid, there is nothing to fear
Even when I'm gone I'll always be there
