Seori - Checkmate

[Romanization]

Empty street black glass rain
My name in the files again
Every smile had hidden teeth
Every lock was missing keys

Gold on your hands
Blood on your name
You play your game
I stay the same

Cold city lights
Fall on your face
I see the cracks
Behind the fame

Tick the room gets small
I see the board behind it all
Every move was never mine
I don’t take a checkmate

Turn dark
You reveal when the mask gets cracked
Turn dark
See through every little trap

Checkmate checkmate no escape
You built a throne on borrowed graves
Checkmate checkmate say my name
I knew your game before you played

Footprints fade on the hall floor
Fingerprints on the wrong door
You were there, then gone in smoke
A lie dressed up in a velvet coat

Silk and diamonds
Black masquerade
You built a throne out of mistakes
The higher you climb
The harder you break
I hear the sound of your empire shake

Tick the room gets small
I see the board behind it all
Every move was never mine
I don’t take a checkmate

Turn dark
You reveal when the mask gets cracked
Turn dark
See through every little trap

Checkmate checkmate no escape
You built a throne on borrowed graves
Checkmate checkmate say my name
I knew your game before you played

You fed me venom and called it trust
Maybe a witness in your lust for lust
But the queen moves first when the board goes cold
And the weak light shows what you tried to hold (Break)

Turn dark
You reveal when the mask gets cracked
Turn dark
See through every little trap

Checkmate checkmate no escape
You built a throne on borrowed graves
Checkmate checkmate say my name
I knew your game before you played
