Regret - Assemblage 23

Some time ago I checked my conscience

And found it wasn’t all that clean

A trail of people I had hurt

A sea of sins left unredeemed

Regret is a dull and rusted blade

That covers me with scars that never fade

These wounds, like a catalog of flaws

Serve to remind me of all the pain I’ve caused

So I resolved to make amends

To heal the damage I had done

But I could never stop the torrent

Of those regrets still yet to come

Regret is a dull and rusted blade

That covers me with scars that never fade

These wounds, like a catalog of flaws

Serve to remind me of all the pain I’ve caused

This bitter sadness overwhelms me

And mires me down with velvet arms

It’s time for me to face the music

It’s time to undo all this harm

Regret is a dull and rusted blade

That covers me with scars that never fade

These wounds, like a catalog of flaws

Serve to remind me of all the pain I’ve caused
