The Bachelor Fails

I wasn't expecting to be uploading again so soon, but inspiration struck. This comes directly after The Death of Eva Yan (the song, but also the event), late in Act 2, and is sung solo by the Bachelor. (By the way, if you missed it, I posted two other new songs in the past like... week and a half? so feel free to check those out if you like!) Lyrics/piano/vocals/etc by me. You can contact me through my tumblr, pathologic-the-musical. Credit for background image goes to elena-illustration on tumblr, elenaillustrate on twitter. Lyrics: [BACHELOR rushes into the Cathedral and finds EVA YAN dead, only moments too late. The final chord from What A Life (Eva Yan’s Death) stumbles into the much faster opening piano of this song.] What do I do now I cannot see how to undo the choice you’ve made here There’s no time to mourn I’m trapped within a storm here before me my life’s one mission before me my greatest ambition before me my only vision I’m always with it locking eye to eye but death has this way of sneaking by I wasn’t even here, I wasn’t even thinking I only looked ahead when right behind me you were sinking, and there is Peter in my ears, trapped in his drinking, and there is Andrey at my heels, his cold heart shrinking but where were you? And where was I? When it matters most who sees our lives pass by? Who fears, who falls, who holds the gun, who steps apart from everyone, I know you hoped for more from me than I could ever give I failed I failed you, I failed Would you have lived if I had done this right If I had told you everything’s all right If I’d said I loved you too, if I had lied the price I’d pay to keep you here alive But it’s late the bells have chimed the world moves on I haven’t got the time to dwell on how you’re gone this fact won’t change, I must focus on what can while I remain. I’m sorry I failed I failed you
