The Best Mistake - Laurence Fox

I have heard men say

It may be wise to walk away

And turn around, then try to face

What may turn out to be your best mistake

Why would you stare blindly

With your hands up over your face

It’s a game that may turn out to be your best mistake

You know you would see so much clearer

If you pulled your hands down from over your face

It’s a game, and you will never be the same again

By the by we two must burn

The fire consumes the light

We both must die

We both must die

I too must die

You’re cold, you don’t know why

When there’s so much warmth around you, you try

And you fail

And you will never be the same again

You know you would see so much clearer

If you pulled your hands down from over your face

It’s a game, and you will never be the same again

By the by we two must burn

The fire consumes the light

We both must die

We both must die

You too must die
