about

My relationship with mental health issues.

lyrics

I'm stuck in your sick little nightmare,
Your twisted notion loves deadly potion,
You've got me wrapped around your little finger,
I don't know if I can take much longer,
You make a move then I make another,
I'm stuck in stalemate with you.

Checkmate, Checkmate you're cornered by the castle,
On your knees ready to surrender,
Checkmate, Checkmate you're grazed by the gravel,
The catalyst of our demise,
Checkmate, Checkmate you're lies will unravel,
It's down to the gavel.

I love the way you tasted,
I miss you lets face it,
But we won't see this resuming soon,
Now all those nights wilt away,
They live in shallow graves,
With the songs that they once read,
The voices in my head.

Your lips are poison and I'm afraid to kiss you,
If i lost you would I really miss you?
Another day, another element of danger,
Look in the mirror, I'm looking at a stranger.
It took time, time for a response,
You took away my confidence,
Fighting, trying, can't bring myself to face it,
You're not on my mind tonight.

Checkmate, Checkmate you're cornered by the castle,
On your knees ready to surrender,
Checkmate, Checkmate you're grazed by the gravel,
The catalyst of our demise,
Checkmate, Checkmate you're lies will unravel,
It's down to the gavel.

I love the way you tasted,
I miss you lets face it,
But I cant see this resuming soon,
Now all those nights wilt away,
They live in shallow graves,
With the songs that they once read,
The voices in my head.

You're the king to my queen,
the white to my black, the pawn to my knight,
trying to hold me back,
through the wind and the rain,
the tears and the pain,
it all stays the same,
now I know that.

I love the way you tasted,
I miss you lets face it,
But I cant see this resuming soon,
Now all those nights wilt away,
They live in shallow graves,
With the songs that they once read,
The voices in my head.
