Stalemate - Yasuharu Takanashi

If I fail, if I fall, if I can't be free then I never was at all The more I fight I stay the same Where do I go and what do I do? I'll never know if I never get through The more I fight I stay' the same God, I love excuses nothing better than a homemade lie New rules and old confusion the ones you just despise Out of my way, Out of my reach how do you dream if you still can't sleep? My mind is a terrible gift and I'd rather be numb than feel this way Come home when the metal is broken Another thief doesn't honor a thing Time flies when the moment is golden I won't leave this clean' If I fail, if I fall, if I can't be free then I never was at all The more I fight I stay the same Where do I go and what do I do? I'll never know if I never get through The more I fight I stay the same Half my time in one protection this is better than a beggar's stand New shoes and old directions the epithet of man Killing my name, killing my past nothing's left when nothing lasts My life is a terrible waste' and I'm going down fast But if I fail, if I fall, if I can't be free then I never was at all The more I fight I stay the same Where do I go and what do I do? I'll never know if I never get through The more I fight I stay the same Don't be so distracted I can tell you where the story ends New sins and old abuses no one wins again This is my chance this is my curse we all know it'll only get worse My hell is a terrible case but I'll give you all hell first' If I fail, if I fall, if I can't be free then I never was at all The more I fight I stay the same If I'm still, if I stall, if I can't be heard I will never even call The more I fight I stay the same Where do I go and what do I do? The very thought scares the hell out of you The more I fight I stay the same If I fail, if I fall, if I know, if I care at all The more I fight I stay the same

It's not what you say It's how you say it I'll cut copy paste in the edit But these words are pouring out Stop myself before I say it And better luck talking to a wall Or picking up a one way call Clock set to your time Always falling behind No it's fine No it's fine It's just that sometimes I wish you needed me more Want you to let me in the room But you won't open the door You want me to know what you want before you want it Trapped in a box I can't unlock it But sometimes I wish you needed me more And sometimes I wish you needed me more Locked in a war of wills Antlers silently clashing Stirring up the dust What's the use in asking But I want you to meet me in the room I can't tell you what to do Take me in your stride Always falling behind No it's fine No I'm fine But I saw you draw a line with your short straw And I try to lend a hand brushing off the sand And I wish I knew how you wanted me to love you And I wish I loved you just like that But sometimes I wish you needed me more Want you to let me in the room But you won't open the door You want me to know what you want before you want it Trapped in a box I can't unlock it But sometimes I wish you needed me more But sometimes I wish you needed me more

That's kinda cute She's wearing my jacket right know I hope that she don't wake up We fight, argue, talk, and cry And I still wanna be spendin' my life with you Got me thinkin' 'bout wifing you and your other personalities The type that hate me despite what I'm making for salary Love, you're perfect Even at the surface And I'm nervous that maybe you'll just realize your worth Notice I'm just a chore and you're a gift to this earth And you'll leave me for good Swear I fear that the worst, oh Won't you just pick me up Dust me off, see what's up, give me all of you 'Cause I see more than what meets the eye I can't imagine life without you So I write a love song or two Yeah, we fight, argue, and walk up that staircase But when it comes to love, me and you stay at stalemate, oh Won't you just pick me up Dust me off, see what's up, give me all of you 'Cause I see more than what meets the eye, oh
