Pawns & Pieces Lyrics by Dionysia

Antics

2014

[Intro]
Yeah, woah, woah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I guess I should have tried a little bit harder
Before I went and let my anchor down
'Cause here I am stranded in open water
And all my luck is running out

[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted this, darling
But sometimes the truth is what you pay

[Chorus]
I won't play this tired game, I am not some lonely pawn
Who'll partake in the defense of yet another hopeless cause
I won't wait no longer, I won't wait no longer
For something that's just as good as gone

[Verse 2]
And for so long I tried to make amends
With every little moral rule you broke inside my level head, yeah
And on a checkerboard stage you'll come on over
Bring your lust, we'll talk it over
And do a dance of pawns and pieces every time

[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted this, darling
But sometimes the truth is what you pay, oh

[Chorus]
I won't play this tired game, I am not some lonely pawn
Who'll partake in the defense of yet another hopeless cause
I won't wait no longer, I won't wait no longer, oh
For something that's just as good as gone

[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted this, darling
But sometimes the truth is what you pay, oh

[Chorus]
I won't play this tired game, I am not some lonely pawn
Who'll partake in the defense of yet another hopeless cause
I won't wait no longer, I won't wait no longer, oh
For something that's just as good as gone
Oh no, no, no
