Theo Nightshade - Endgame Frequencies Lyrics

[Intro]
Checkmate's coming, can't you feel it now?
Like smoke rings rising, wisdom shows me how
Strategic silence speaks much louder than
The words they're selling, damn

[Verse 1]
Been playing this game since '21
When they shut me down, thought my time was done
But I learned to move like a midnight king
Through the shadows where the brass bells ring
Every rejection made my moves more sharp
Like Coltrane's spirit dancing through the dark
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Endgame frequencies, vibrating through my soul
Cold calculations, but baby, that's how we roll
Can't box me in with your corporate schemes
'Cause I'm floating high on these jazz machine dreams
Oh, these jazz machine dreams

[Verse 2]
Smoke-filled rooms and suits that never fit
Playing politics while the saxes spit
But I learned to read between their lies
Like reading changes, harmonies in disguise
Some call it cold, I call it being smart
When you've seen the game fall apart

[Bridge]
They say surrender, I say strategic retreat
Like Miles Davis, making failure sound so sweet
Every goddamn move's been calculated
Every single note, perfectly orchestrated
Hell yeah

[Chorus]
Endgame frequencies, vibrating through my soul
Cold calculations, but baby, that's how we roll
Can't box me in with your corporate schemes
'Cause I'm floating high on these jazz machine dreams

[Outro]
The king stands alone on this smoky board
While the bishops fall and the pawns get bored
But I've got my horn and I've got my pride
And these frequencies gonna be my ride
To the other side, to the other side
Check and mate, let the truth collide
