Checkmate Lyrics by I’m Geist

goodnight, goodbye. EP

2022

[Chorus]
Such a cost to pay
Watch it all go in flames
If i could explain
Would it all end the same?
But I can’t convey
Simple thoughts in my brain
Well I guess, checkmate
Yeah I lost, what a shame

[verse] [notenvy]
Everything will fall apart if you just give it time, oh no
And I'm not fine and you're not far
My pieces too misaligned, oh yea
And im not trying to waste your time
So there's no need to put on a show
And i might call you once or twice
Cause i have a hard time letting go

The queen always corners the king
Her shadows lingering
I feel my heart skip a beat as she sings
This is the end for mе

[verse] [imgeist]
This is the end for me
You’rе getting close, i start to freeze
I’ll hold on to the memories
Of times when we both had a dream

And i’ve been sick of overthinking
Make your move i’ve lost my patience
There’s no way that I can make it
I’ll take the loss but

[Chorus]
Such a cost to pay
Watch it all go in flames
And if i could explain
Would it all end the same?
But I can’t convey
Simple thoughts in my brain
Well I guess, checkmate
Yeah I lost, what a shame
