Rock, Painter, Checkmate, Beast
There's a weight on my foot
A blackened, moss covered stone
And here come the mirrors to push me in
Here come the men with two faces
Here comes the water
Its murky, liquidy surface to drown me
And no one to catch me
No one but me

Are your ears missing?
Are your eyes?
Have you mailed them away like van gogh
Have you sent all your brains in a package
And wrapped them up neatly, complete with a bow?
I dont understand your logic
I don't understand your blame
I don't understand your battle tactics
You're changing the rules of the game
And it all goes downhill from here
With no breaks to apply
No breaks to apply
No breaks to apply from where we are now
No breaks to apply from here.

Where do I step when the spaces are colored
As black and as purely as white
And a pawn is speaking in one ear
And a knight is speaking with might
When the board is creaking with use and abuse
And my ears will ring like no other
Where do I step when the pieces are gathered
When all will be slain by eachother?

There are his scales
Glinting, glinting
There are the dragon's teeth
There is his tail
Twitching, twitching
Its good that he's fallen asleep.
His amber eyes have been fallen by lids
His tongue has descended to cave
His horns aren't capped but are dulled by misuse
His wings are folded and strength is saved.
There is his breath
Falling, falling
His ribcage rising and catching
There are his claws
Pawing, pawing
Its a matter of time before waking.
When he wakes I won't run
Engulfed by his flames
His searing hot flames down my throat
When he wakes I won't run
Trampled by talons
I'll smile and know that the battle
Is done.
