Fool's Mate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
