You have been
In every line that I have ever read
My resolution
Is to clear this deck
The game we're playing
Is it life and death?
'Cause we are gonna
Start a war
And I was never good at chess
Yeah, the front line is a goddamn mess
But still you're getting me undressed
And you're careless with the evidence
'Til all that's left are
Chalk-line silhouettes

Take the hint
Watch you balance on the precipice
Not saying nothing
But you read my lips
And it is just how I imagined it

Are we gonna
Start a war
'Cause I was never good at chess?
Yeah, the front line is a goddamn mess
But still you're getting me undressed
And you're careless with the evidence
Heavy-handed but so delicate
Skin crawling in its element
And I didn't want to start a war
Just to feel something I felt before
Can't stop marching through the open door
Lay you down upon the hallway floor
'Til all that's left are
Chalk-line silhouettes
