Stalemate Lyrics - Project 86

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, trivial 

I'm left with no defenses 

Stimulus, response, 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 

Stalemate 

You can't move against me 

Stalemate 

The walls built around me 

Stalemate 

You can't move against me 

Stalemate 

The walls built around me 

Stalemate 

You can't move against me 

Stalemate 

The walls built around me 

Photos 

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 moment's 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 sickness 

My stalemate reveals my blindness to my own condition 

Your wilderness is 

Stalemate 

You can't move against me 

Stalemate 

The walls built around me 

Stalemate 

You can't move against me 

Stalemate 

The walls built around me 

Stalemate 

You can't move against me 

Stalemate 

The walls built around me 

I'll still run away from 

Six seconds of defeat 

Six years of agony 

I'll still stand at odds with 

Six seconds of defeat 

Six years of agony 

I'll still run away from 

Six seconds of defeat 

Six years of agony 

I'll 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
