Headlights Lyrics by Plainspoke

Chess Moves

0

Verse
I’m making music, my muses speak in Rubick’s cubes
Puzzles for Confucius, I’m the hugest that is under shoes
Trumping up my hugeness, flipping fuses in a hundred hues
Asking who’s a shoe-in, I’mma fit in it, a common suit

Gotta chase a goose, the ruses obvy’ know a better route
This hobby got me through, it’s up a ladder, down a pair of chutes
Living in a paradise, someone there has got to lose
Serenade the stabbing knife, I’m back in by the end of you

Checking in, I’m living by a thread, just holding half a truth
Told them twenty seven ways to pass around an attitude
Emotions in the everglades, better late than never knew
Reckon when I’m older, I’ll be opening forever too

This an ode to the art, of choke on every old pursuit
Played all the parts, I’m getting bold and making moves
Facing the dart, I lay my arms along the loose
Line around the darkness, looking heartless when I choose

Hook
I, look ahead, look ahead, see the headlights
Coming in, coming in, hold my head like
Holding in, holding in, all my ad-vice
Noticing our reflections up ahead

I, look ahead, look ahead, see the headlights
Coming in, coming in, hold my head like
Holding in, holding in, all my ad-vice
Noticing our reflections in the headlights

Verse
All I ever wanted was a magnum, an opus
A gun for the hum-drum, the life of the hopeless
Father had a hunch, he was living for the office
Followed by the sun, set the scene of the soap dish

Padowan of much, never formulate a focus
A winner in the rush, when the winter is the coldest
When the shimmer in the rust is the glitter in the gold and
They been chiseling a bust out of simmering a moment

I can shimmy a diploma, keep the cold out
Looking for a stomach that can take it from an old owl
Looking for the coming-up, yet they ain’t even come enough
Steady with the play, all the work has got me gumming up

Working for a hundred bucks, living by a paycheck
Thinking that you’re one of us, while sitting at the apex
I don’t want to run amok, struggling to say yes
Same man that I ever was, they don’t want to play chess

Hook
I, look ahead, look ahead, see the headlights
Coming in, coming in, hold my head like
Holding in, holding in, all my ad-vice
Noticing our reflections up ahead

I, look ahead, look ahead, see the headlights
Coming in, coming in, hold my head like
Holding in, holding in, all my ad-vice
Noticing our reflections in the headlights
