[Intro] [Female System Voice] SAVE DATA FOUND. CONTINUE? [Male Lead] ...Again. [Verse 1] The sunrise always happens at exactly 6:03 The merchant tells the same bad joke The guard still doesn't recognize me There's a bird above the fountain That takes off when the bells begin I've watched it fly a thousand times I've never seen where it lands I know the ambush in the alley I know the traitor in the keep I know which floorboard wakes the monster I know which children never sleep And everybody calls me lucky Because I always seem prepared Nobody asks me how I learned it Nobody remembers I was there [Pre-Chorus] I know every wrong answer Every blade behind every door I know exactly how to save you Because I've failed before [Chorus] Take me back To the last save point Before the castle burned Before we lost the fight Before you looked at me And said goodbye Take me back I'll get it right I'll learn the pattern I'll change the choice I'll cross the fire I'll hear your voice I can save everyone Give me one more try [Female System Voice] CHECKPOINT RESTORED. [Verse 2] The dragon killed me seven times The lich required twenty-three The bridge collapsed on number forty Number forty-one was me I've drowned beneath the silver river I've frozen underneath the moon I've watched the final boss start laughing Before I entered the room I learned to dodge before the arrow I learned the answer before the test I learned the fastest road to victory I learned to never rest But there's one thing I can't memorize No matter how many lives I spend How to look into your eyes Knowing you'll forget me again [Chorus] Take me back To the last save point Before the tower fell Before the world went white Before you took my hand And said goodbye Take me back I'll get it right I'll grind the levels I'll change the route I'll find the secret I'll figure it out I can save everyone Give me one more try [Chiptune Solo] [Glitch Breakdown] [Female System Voice] TRY AGAIN. [Female System Voice] TRY AGAIN. [Female System Voice] TRY AGAIN. [Female System Voice] TRY— [Male Lead] I saved the village. [Female System Voice] CONTINUE. [Male Lead] I saved the king. [Female System Voice] CONTINUE. [Male Lead] I stopped the war. [Female System Voice] CONTINUE. [Male Lead] I killed the thing beneath the world. [Female System Voice] CONTINUE. [Male Lead] I found every weapon. [Female System Voice] CONTINUE. [Male Lead] Every ending. [Female System Voice] CONTINUE. [Male Lead] Every secret. [Female System Voice] CONTINUE. [Male Lead] Every— [Male Lead] STOP! [Hard Stop] [Bridge] What if I don't want another life? What if this one gets to hurt? What if losing something matters Because I cannot hit reverse? What if courage isn't knowing Every move before it's made? What if living means accepting Some things cannot be saved? And what if you remember me... Only because I stay? [Female System Voice] WARNING. UNSAVED PROGRESS WILL BE LOST. [Male Lead] I know. [Final Chorus] Don't take me back To the last save point Let the castle burn Let me face the night Let me make a choice I haven't made before No more maps No second life I'll miss the timing I'll take the scar I'll lose some battles I'll go too far And if I can't save everyone At least this life is mine Don't take me back Don't reset time Let every mistake Become part of my life If this is the ending Then let it arrive No more perfect run No more one more try I don't need forever I just want— Tonight [Instrumental Outro] [Female System Voice] SAVE? [Male Lead] Yeah. Save this one. [Chiptune Outro] [End]
