Game of Chess
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
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
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
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
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
