Checkmate Lyrics

No Trigger Checkmate

talk about a never-ender
towed along against the weeds and dredging shallows
this could be the worst deal ever
say it like you mean it I will not be defeated
we’re on the bus on the street on the beach they’re
looking back
you’re watching over me
with groceries and coffee beans the dishes clean I rinse
repeat
until the ghosts swallow the daylight
the circles carve ruts so deep around the city
it might fall into the earth
talk about a never-ender
towed along against the weeds and dredging shallows
this could be the worst deal ever
say it like you mean it I will not be defeated
on the one hand there’s a thorn in my side digging in
at every step of the way and
on the other hand I wanna rip myself in half and seize
the day
with the grey skies breaking away and sunlight on my face
now the grey skies are breaking away the sunlight’s
shining on me
talk about a never-ender towed
along against the weeds and dredging shallows
this could be the worst deal ever
might as well repeat it I will not be defeated
will not be defeated
talk about a never-ender say it like you mean it I will
not be defeated
