Le Tenia

Another shadow of a night
I wish my memory could collapse upon completely

Hopeless horror lived out simultaneously
in the moment and the third person

I just can't take it back

And nothing said can satiate this dread

The trouble is my foolishness and depravity know no bounds

I might as well be shaking hands with the hangman
Or bluffing my way to the guillotine.

I'm not flirting with disaster;
I've got my tongue down her throat

It's easy to say, "No regrets" when you haven't lost everything you have
In a moment of indiscretion and mindless violence.
I have regrets, but there's no sense in righting wrongs with wishing bones
And vengeance is an empty gesture when you bash the wrong man's brains in

Time destroys everything.

The most tragic thing about life is that it does go on.
The most beautiful thing about life is that it does go on.

So this... this is regret.

How can I ever make amends if you're dead lying on a stretcher?
How can I amount to that of a man if I'm just another tapeworm?
