In the age of games
You played me the fool
A timeless dance and play
Always changing the rules
Locked in stalemate
Lost escape hatch
The game was played, the set was won
Still, we were no match
That December night
Our pawns in parallel lines
You made the first move
I thought it was a sign
Two steps forward
A strategy play
I made a rookie mistake
I didn't know it that day
Predict your next move
My knight with rusty armor
Commander of attention
Malpractictioner
You yelled "Check"
I thought you were lying
My queen locked in place
Checkmate on the horizon
And the gambit I played
Results from what you made
I became so jaded
Your moves calculated
Always with the advantage (I made a rookie mistake)
Fighting with no bandage (My queen locked in place)
And my glass turns to stone (In the age of games)
While you sit on your throne (A timeless play)
And the clock's running out (I made a rookie mistake)
I have nothing but doubt (my queen locked in place)
As I lie on the floor (In the age of games)
They would call it a war (A timeless play)
Slashed me across the board (I made a rookie mistake)
Your knights drew their swords (my queen locked in place)
And yet still I condoned (In the age of games)
Now I'm left all alone
