Here's where it comes from
That stubborn lump in my throat
Only three on the wooden floor
But in this life lies a lie
That keeps my heart alive
She moves towards me
A smile like a child
Foolish and innocent
But oh I knew how much power
Rested in her eyes
She could kill
She could kill me
Rip my heart away but she loves me too much
So she'll keep me on the edge of the cliff
And we'd lie there
But he oh he'd wanted it different
He knew all and all feared him
How could I know if he was
Lying or loving at all
When he kicked at my ankles
Landed me on my back
And looked at me
With those inhuman eyes
No because I've
I've! Seen him before
I can't believe his words and so
I am wrong and
He knows he's won
Neither knowing the other
Trapping me together
Like running in a tunnel
She loves me so but won't let go
Because she knows she's got me tied
Before me she stands
Oh and I loathed the footsteps
The clear echoes of his shoes
A million ice spiders crawled up my back
Bit me and locked me in the webs
As I turned around
The boa tightened
Hissing as he appeared
Tall and strong
He forced his image as weak
And yet unknown to each other
They had both blocked one side of the tunnel
Thinking the other side was open
And now there is nowhere to run
You have me,
"Checkmate, Cassie"
