Verse 1

This life is like a game of chess, sometimes we have to think ahead

How did I even get this far? How come I didn't wind up dead?

Not every mountain turns to gold, these rivers have been swept before

It's easy to get pulled aside, so much to put you off your stride

Chorus

But you must be here to claim it all, or maybe it's too small for you

You must have quite the appetite, save a little bite for us

Verse 2

Hold my breath and count to ten and slowly I remember when

I had to give it all away, I had to call it to an end

Overnight my path had changed, it's not so hard to rearrange and

If your motivation's pure...oh sure, you've heard it all before

Chorus

But you must be here to claim it all, maybe it's too small for you

You must have quite the appetite, save a little bite for us

You must be heading for a fall, thinking that you're all that

What kind of company to keep? Talking is so cheap to you

Middle

They bring you down

And they turn you around

And it's all in their mouth you see

They wanna make you a star

They wanna take who you are

They're gonna break down your façade

You'll see

Verse 3

This life is like a game of chess, sometimes we have to think ahead

How did I even get this far? How come I didn't wind up dead?

Chorus

But you must be here to claim it all, maybe it's too small for you

You must be heading for a fall, thinking that you're all that

A tale as old as the ashes we fear

How weak to be turned against those you held dear

A warning to get back to that which is true

And bury the hatchet that's burying you

Yes get back to that which is true

How easy to say that you were led astray

How can you sleep at the end of the day

Look to your heart to find that which is true

And bury the hatchet that's burying you

Yes get back to that which is true

A tale as old as the ashes you fear

How weak to be turned against those you held dear

A warning to get back to that which is true

In this land of double standards and back-handers

Conspiracies that come in threes and end in treason

No one's home, no lights are on, they're fully blown

Entertained by the insane who rot your brain

Chorus

I feel so numb

Verse 2

It's a sign of the times when your t-shirt says to be kind but you couldn't if you tried

Every moment spent on your phone while your kid sits there alone

Become alienated the more that you chase it, another year wasted

A severe weakness in each knee

A total loss for my appetite

I can't manage just a little bite

Verse 1

I was stealing away to a better place

I didn't want to leave any trace

The harrowing tales you were telling me

Got me so sick that I was empty

And every time I hear about this world

Makes me feel smaller than a little girl

My only desire is to find the key

And unlock the warrior inside me

Verse 2

Your big big friends 'cross the Atlantic

Love you baby and your sycophantic

Personal traits got you making big bucks

Can't believe people made such a fuss

And every time I think about what you do

Makes me feel like I wanna finish you

My only desire is to find the key

And unlock the warrior inside me

Inside me, inside me

Let me show you a better place

Wanna take you to a better place

Inside me, inside me

Let me show you a better place

Wanna take you to a better place, a better place

Breaking us down with your extremes

So blinded nobody knows what it means

Fighting for survival but you don't see

My only desire is to find the key

And unlock the warrior inside me

Wanna take you to a better place

There's clear water and everyone can have a taste

In my better place nothing goes to waste

Nobody's sick skinny, everyone can stuff their face

In my better place in my head, everybody gets to sleep in a bed

But it's all make believe and when I wake up I have to leave it

Inside me, inside me

Let me show you a better place

Wanna take you to a better place

Inside me, inside me

Let me show you a better place

Wanna take you to a better place

Somewhere more exciting? Somewhere like outer space?

Did you turn your back on me like I thought you would?

Knew you were bad for me, knew you were up to no good

Chorus

Every day now, that sword runs true

Guess that wouldn't happen if you loved me too

Verse 2

Guess that wouldn't happen if you loved me too

Every day I am hating you

Guess that wouldn't matter if you loved me too
