stalemate you can't move against me stalemate the walls built around me
and as this theme continues to follow close behind I see so clearly if I would only let go of my tendencies then I'd know what it is to be free I can't win when I indulge this fantasy reduced as a pawn led to misery "a little detour won't hurt let me change you slowly a moments pleasure, but you'll owe me" all encompassing defeat awaits the day I choose to plunge and embrace this nightmare but the night has an end and I see you and you see me as the dawn of the one who's adopted my ailment, my sickess, my stalemate reveals my blindness to my own condition
your wilderness is...
(3X) stalemate you can't move against me stalemate the walls built around me
(2X) I'll still run away from six seconds of defeat six years of agony still stand at odds with six seconds of defeat six years of agony
I'm senseless erode my senses to fill my day with indulgence which leads to my UNDOING I'll never look back I'll never taste it again
