[Verse 1]
I stare at the board
I breathe nice and slow
Every piece carries the weight of where it should go
Sometimes I rush
Sometimes I wait to see
If the move that I dream of will end up losing me
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a knight trying hard to skip every stage
A trapped rook
And a heart in a cage
A tired king pretending he’s strong
A crooked bishop just looking to belong
[Chorus]
Life is a game of chess
There’s a time to move forward, no less
There’s a time to attack to win
And a time to defend within
Even a time to step back instead
Just to stay alive, not dead
[Verse 2]
I’ve lost my queen to vanity
I’ve traded victory for anxiety
But I learned by falling, by facing checkmate
That sometimes retreat is part of the fight we create
[Pre-Chorus]
When fear stands right in front of me
I weigh the risk, move carefully
’Cause every step leaves marks behind
And the next move holds my heart in line
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
(low vocal register)
Not every step back means defeat
Sometimes it’s saving the perfect reply to speak
Letting time reveal what eyes can’t see
Waiting for the right opening to be free
[Chorus]
