Shawn Milke - Paradox lyrics

[Verse 1] Dearest love, I hope this finds you well I am kidding this is probably hell Lonely stranger with a brush in hand Never saw me sneaking up on him Tonight say goodbye to what you thought you knew They'll blame the blood spilled on you I'm closing my eyes, one more kiss before I never wake again Two moves ahead of you You are a pawn Castle now but I'm behind your king As your queen lays bleeding on the board Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy [Pre-Chorus] Unleash the myth living in your worst fears I'm trapped!

Two moves ahead of you You are a pawn Castle now but I'm behind your king As your queen lays bleeding on the board Accept you have lost the game, misjudged your enemy Don't wait... [Chorus] Page abandoned, time is ending The story is ending, make them sonnets We sit and watch the world's collide [Outro: Melissa Milke] The night that I died I had become Rusalka. I was no longer me. I was no longer Annabel. The beautiful evil coursed through my veins and I saw so clearly what needed to be done. As you lay, fast asleep, I penned her farewell and kissed your cheek. The knife felt so light in my hand, so heavy in my stomach. There is something about this room…
