Written at the tail end of 2011 and finished in 2012, the title is reference to 8bit Theater Chaos. The only difference from the original is a chorus change (this even uses the drums I tracked before).
lyrics
Let me go because I sure can't
Certainty would be lovely
But I'll always play the game of chance
My only weapon is persistent romance
Who am I to fight this current?
Making something of myself
And by "something" I mean "everything"
And by "myself" I mean "someone else"
Messiah myself to help you stand tall
Martyr myself when all the pieces fall
At least I tried
At least I try
Hold onto the smiles I deliver
God knows how long they'll last
You'll be interested up until I care
All your promises are just hot air
And I'll defend your every choice
I'll defend the knife in my back
And I'll come around in six months time
Dressing well to make you mine
Messiah myself to help you stand tall
Martyr myself when all the pieces fall
At least I tried
At least I try
It's too late to start anew but I don't want to start again
