Chessboard (2010)
Like riding a rocket with a helmet
I’m safe yet reckless
Maybe watched over by the gods
(Who do still walk among us)
Or perhaps just smart enough
To know when to strap in
And when to jump fly flee
Take a leap of faith
But I keep my halo nearby
In my back pocket actually
For when I need to prove
I’m on of the good guys
So I leap and land
Usually safely sometimes harshly
Always a show a sight a spectacle
And for now I’m on a chess board
Metal and granite
Still the element earth
I could swear I know the person
Across the table from me
Like sleeping with the enemy
Or the enemy sleeping with me
Just to see if I’m worth the glove
That I’m about to get slapped with
So now I’m challenged and charging
And leaping into the fray
I wonder who will win
Me or my subverting desire?
