Ive sought so hard to sustain this gain
Now watch me give this ground away
What can i do but admit Im in over my head?
Colors fade from blue to dark red
Im back into a corner by my choices
Im hearing those dame dark voices
At the mercy of my desires helpless, trivial
Im left with no defenses
Stimulus, response, repeated failures-Im sick
This sickness fills my senses
But despite my apparent loss I see release
This Stalemate, my peace
You wilderness is Stalemate
You cant move against me
Stalemate
The walls built around me
But as this theme continues to follow close behind, I see so clearly
If I would only let go of my tendencies
I would know what it is to be free
I cant win when I indulge this fantasy
Reduced as a pawn led to misery
"A little detour wont hurt, let me change you slowly
A moments pleasure, but youll 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 has adopted my ailment, my sickness
My Stalemate reveals my blindness to my own condition
Ill still run away from six seconds of defeat, six years of agony
Ill still stand at odds with six seconds of defeat, six years of agony
Im senseless, erode my senses
To fill my day with indulgence which leads to my undoing
Ill never look back, Ill never taste it again.
