Stalemate

by Michael Buble

You say you wanna leave me,
say you wanna be free
from everything you hate.
Get yourself together,
we'll always be together.
Love, you just can not rate.
Been so long since we hooked,
been so long since we took
time to get things right.
But I'll be here forever,
I'll lie to you forever.
Now, it doesn't look bright.
[Chorus:]
Nobody is killing more time than you and I.
Everybody's willing somehow to say goodbye.
I think we're getting used to,
used to be abused to.
Doubt is all there is.
We can not spread out wings out,
can not do a new thing.
Drought on what we miss.
When everything is falling,
it's like we both are crawling
around and around again.
Every fight is too long,
every word is too strong
Bound to end it all, but when?
The stalemate's on and what we had is dead and gone.
It's like we just don't care. We're going nowhere.
I wanna say goodbye. Yeah, I wanna say goodbye.
Goodbye to our big life lie, nothing's gonna be alright.
You know this is our best white lie. Nothing's gonna be alright.
Doesn't matter how we try, I wanna ask you why we can't let it die?
Even though we both have tried, you know I always question why.
Why we just can't let it die?
It's our big life lie.

by The Lonely Island

If I fail, if I fall...
If I can't be free, then I never was at all
The more I fight, I stay the same...
Where do I go, and what do I do?
I'll never know if I never get through
The more I fight, I stay... THE SAME!
Got a lot, a lot of excuses
Nothing better than a homemade lie
New rules and old confusion
The ones you just despise
Out of my way, out of my reach
Out of your dream, if you still can't sleep
My mind is a terrible gift
And I'd rather be numb than feel this way
Come home with the medal, it's broken
Another fake that's another mistake
Just once, when the moment is golden
I will leave this clean
If I fail, if I fall...
If I can't be free, then I never was at all
The more I fight, I stay the same...
Where do I go, and what do I do?
I'll never know if I never get through
The more I fight, I stay the same...
Half my time and one protection
This is better than a bigger stand
New shoes in old directions
The epitaph of man
Killing my name, killing my past
Nothing's left when nothing lasts
My life is a terrible waste
And I'm going down fast
If I fail, if I fall...
If I can't be free, then I never was at all
The more I fight, I stay the same...
Where do I go, and what do I do?
I'll never know if I never get through
The more I fight, I stay the same...
Oh, don't be so distracted
I can tell you where the story ends...
New sins and old abuses
And no one wins again...
This is my chance, this is my curse
We all know it'll only get worse
My hell is a terrible case
But I'll give you all hell first!
If I fail, if I fall...
If I can't be free, then I never was at all
The more I fight, I stay the same...
Where do I go, and what do I do?
I'll never know if I never get through
The more I fight, I stay the same...
Where do I go, and what do I do?
The very thought scares the hell out of you
The more I fight, I stay the same...
If I fail, if I fall...
If I know if I care at all
The more I fight, I stay the same...

Stalemate when do I jump out of the cake
Stalamate when do we admit it's a fake
Stalemate when do I jump out of the cake
I'm the nervous watcher
And I watch
Time to turn it on
But i turn it off
70% of the time I watch
Useless and over the line
Stuck
Stalemate
Jailbreak
When do we admit it's not safe
It's not safe in a jail
It's not safe in a safe
When do we admit it's not safe
Should have been a wreck
Might have been a wreck
I don't know how it can last
I don't know why it doesn't crash
Stalemate Stalemate
When do I jump out of the cake
Previous wars made billionaires out of millionaires,
Todays wars make trillionaires out of billionaires,
Tomorrows wars will fuel generations of hate,
Generations of hate,
I'm losing my grip on reality,
I cannot simply agree that we are civilised,
Acting like this life is infinate,
Is a chessboard of lies that will generate stalemate,
It will generate stalemate,
So yes I've gone to the hills again,
So yes I've gone away,
Money is made when bombs are dropping in Afghanistan
And when phosphorous falls in Palestine,
Hoarding/whoring weapons at a record pace
Arming anyone that wants a taste of disgrace,
Wants a taste of disgrace
So yes I've gone to the hills again,
So yes I've gone away,
So yes I've gone to the hills again,
So yes I've gone away,
Hey!
I drifted away, I drifted away in this body,
I drifted, I drifted, I drifted away in this body,
So yes I've, yes I've gone to the hills again
I drifted away, I drifted away in this body,
I drifted, I drifted, I drifted away in this body,
(And I'll live this fantasy, I'll live this fantasy, Ill live this fantasy)
So yes I've, yes I've gone to the hills again
Yes I've, yes I've gone to the hills again
And I'll live out this fantasy, and I'll live out this fantasy, I'll live this fantasy, I'll live this fan-
And I'll live out this fantasy, and I'll live out this fantasy, I'll live this fantasy, I'll live this fan-
And I'll live out this fantasy, and I'll live out this fantasy, I'll live this fantasy, I'll live this fantasy...

Just pick one and make it all come through,
infiltrated and fucked up for years.
And now it suddenly turns to you,
In a second, in no time.
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up,
With the brand new sensation,
I'll bring back whats mine.
No, sense for sanity,
No, sense for clarity,
No, sense for dignity.
Just ask and it's coming straight to you,
Overrated and blinded by fear,
Inspiration turns to dust as you've had your share.
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up,
With your illumination,
I'll bring back whats mine.
No, sense for sanity,
No, sense for clarity,
No, sense for dignity.
And I'll say (now give me your best shot)
Wait a lifetime to pull it off.
And I'll say (is that all that you got?)
Wake up in no time to blow it off...
No use for frustration, if you can't get through.
And you think your pride will do,
To get to your spot
Rise up, get up, stay up, fed up,
With the brand new sensation.
No, sense for sanity,
No, sense for clarity,
No, sense for dignity,
No, sense for empathy,
No, sense for sanity,
Will stop you now.
Now gimme your best shot!

Stalemate

by Tankard

Did I let you down? No
Did I give you up? No
So what's it all about now?
Was it not enough?
No, no, no
It's alright, yeah
It's okay, yeah
It's alright with me
I'll be fine, yeah
I don't mind, yeah
I'll pretend at least
But if you give me something, then I'll believe it
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Stalemate with you
Used to pick me up, yeah
Like a sunken pill
And I've been thinking it through
And we worked so well
But it feels wrong, yeah
When I'm strong alone, yeah
Strong alone by you
And the words you say, yeah
Just to get your way, yeah
Well they just won't do
You got to...
Give me something, then I'll believe it
Give me something and I will wait
But if you give me nothing
I can't help feeling I'm in stalemate with you
Oh I'm in stalemate
Oh I'm in stalemate, baby
(Stalemate with you)
I need more
I need more
What are you waiting for?
It's so frustrating
(So frustrating, baby)
You got to want it
(Yeah)
I'm so frustrated with your love
What you do to me
Oh, yeah, yeah
Hey
You got me in stalemate
Oooh
Hey, hey, hey
You got me in stalemate
Hey yeah
Oooh, don't mug me, baby
Don't mug me, love
You breakin' my heart now
Don't you break my heart, no
Don't you break my heart

Stalemate

by Pixies

I've sought so hard to sustain this gain
Now watch me give this ground away
What can i do but admit I'm in over my head?
Colors fade from blue to dark red
I'm back into a corner by my choices
I'm hearing those dame dark voices
At the mercy of my desires helpless, trivial
I'm left with no defenses
Stimulus, response, repeated failures-I'm sick
This sickness fills my senses
But despite my apparent loss I see release
This Stalemate, my peace
You wilderness is Stalemate
You can't move against me
Stalemate
The walls built around me
But as this theme continues to follow close behind, I see so clearly
If I would only let go of my tendencies
I would know what it is to be free
I can't win when I indulge this fantasy
Reduced as a pawn led to misery
"A little detour won't hurt, let me change you slowly
A moment's pleasure, but you'll owe me."
All encompassing defeat awaits the day
I choose to plunge and embrace this nightmare
But the night has an end and I see you
and you see me as the dawn of the one
Who has adopted my ailment, my sickness
My Stalemate reveals my blindness to my own condition
I'll still run away from six seconds of defeat, six years of agony
I'll still stand at odds with six seconds of defeat, six years of agony
I'm senseless, erode my senses
To fill my day with indulgence which leads to my undoing
I'll never look back, I'll never taste it again.

It's not my mind - [5x]
Yo J
And I get a little bit
Your veins flow with poison
Please acknowledge my present
This precious gift that I behold discarded like trash
To dominate, it's in your nature, you selfish brat
I can't believe you had me strung out all over you like that
One minute you're sweet the next minute you're sour
I taste the envious predictions, change with each hour
I've seen this before, you even decided to step into my little world
Strange things occurring
Happening over and
Over and over again
Now bitch you are cruelty
You bark your orders with such a degrading dialect
I can't believe you had me strung out all over you like that
One minute you're sweet the next minute you're sour
I taste the envious predictions, change with each hour
I've seen this before, you even decided to step into my little world
One minute you think you're all this
The next minute you think you're all that
But your playin' with the nova
Momma didn't show ya how to take it, you can by the man
When it's over i'll be hunting you down
Waiting for the pay back, your frown
Begging me for your mercy
I ain't down with the sympathy you see
And I always remember your tender love
Wipe me under the rug
Just so you can step on my spine
I'm gonna get mine - [2x]
Please dont wake me
I'm gonna get mine
I wish I was wasted
I'm gonna get mine
Please dont wake me
I'm gonna get mine
I'd like to rearrange your face
I'm gonna get mine
Please dont wake me
I'm gonna get mine
Please dont wake me
You're so sweet - [3x]
I'm gonna get mine - [3x]
Please dont wake me
I'm gonna get mine
Please dont wake me
I'm gonna get mine
I'll rearrange your face
I'm gonna get mine
I'll rearrange your face
I'm gonna get mine
You're so sweet - [3x]
You're always right and I'm always wrong
Not my mind
That's why I love you so much
Not my mind
You're so sweet
Not my mind
I love you
Not my mind
You're so sweet
Not my mind
I love you
Not my mind...

by Ill Nino

What am I supposed to be
In my life
In your life
In our life
In this life
I shut the door an closed my sight
At the end of the day
It's not the way what it used to be
There's no way I'll see
The beginning of things to come
Trapped in the ways of the silent and weak
I shut the door and closed my sight
At the end of the day
It's not the way what it used to be
There's no way I'll see
The beginning of things to come
Trapped in the ways of the weak
It's not the way that it used to be
There's no way I'll see
The beginning of things to come
Trapped in the ways of the weak
