The Rook - Sheavy

I used to be just like you

I’d sit here everyday

Mock suicide, your wounded pride

Kept getting in the way

You know that I can’t tell you

You know I’d never lie

Your enemies are ill at ease

The moon is in their sky

Alright

Can anybody tell me

The difference right or wrong

Put games aside the second time

This joker’s played too long

Don’t say I didn’t warn you

Don’t say I wasn’t fair

With open eyes, to your surprise

You’ll find I wasn’t there

And you say you could never read me

That cards never play in my eyes

But the pieces are moving, the game’s an illusion

And the hand you’ve been dealt is mine

And you say you could never read me

That cards never play in my eyes

But the pieces are moving, the game’s an illusion

And the hand you’ve been dealt is mine

Destiny’s answer to everyone else

Seems empty as far as you’ve gone

Expect the surprises, don’t ever ask why

You’re facing this world on your own

Promises broken and promises made

The sooner you know, you can try

The best you can hope for is knowing someday

All winners and losers must die
