Stalemate Lyrics

I've sought so hard to attain this gain
now watch me give this ground away
what can I do but admit
I'm in over my head
colors fade from blue to dark red
backed into a corner by my choices
and I'm hearing those same dark voices
at the mercy of my desires
helpless trival I'm left with no defenses
stimulus repsonse repeated failures
I'm sick this sickness fills my senses
but despite my apparent loss
I see release this stalemate my peace
your wilderness is...
(3X)
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
I'll never stop
You can't stop me
