[Lyric] Checkmate (Peter Himmelman)

[Verse 1]
Checkmate, I believe the game is over
I cannot hold you anymore
It's the last-ditch, The 11th hour
I can't take things as they are

[Verse 2]
You're like a dead weight I believe I'll cut it loose now
This dried up faith I'll scatter on the wind
Now you may say I'm a lazy boy
But I don't think that it's so

[Chorus]
I need something more
I need something more
I need something more than this

[Verse 3]
Yeah, dying leaves you filled with understanding
Dogma, baby, like a cheap champagne
Cinnamon or the smell of a rose can change your world in ways that nobody knows
I hear voices on the highway
Do you see the dreams of telegraph road?
And the summer sun, like molten gold, is flowing like lava from the sky
[Chorus]
I need something more
I need something more
I need something more than this

[Bridge]
I need another look, I need the rain
I need to wash away my pain
I need a good laugh, I need a friend
I need to start up my engines again

[Verse 4]
What's your name? That is what should I call you?
Now that we've turned so many times
And how should I think of you? When madness has no end
Belly up floating on the water
I feel lucky to have drowned, pale skin, wet lips
Now, don't you make a sound

[Chorus]
I need something more
I need something more
I need something more than this
