GAMBIT

By Vera Von Monika

Verse 1
I don’t rush the table, I read the room
Every move already assumed
Eyes stay calm, hands stay clean
Nothing here is what it seems

I let silence do the talking
Let the pause become the threat
By the time you feel the danger
The outcome’s already set

Pre-Chorus
No mirrors, no alibis
Just truth dressed in disguise
I don’t bluff, I don’t chase
I place the piece, I change the pace

Chorus
This is a gambit, watch it fall
One decision breaks it all
I don’t need to raise my voice
Power lives in the choice
Checkmate written in my stare
I don’t win fair… I win aware

Verse 2
I don’t play into emotion
I let instinct take control
Every crack you try to hide
Is already in my scope

You think I’m standing still
But I’m ten steps ahead
By the time you call it luck
I’ve already read the end

Pre-Chorus
No promises, no regret
Only debts you haven’t met
I don’t ask, I don’t explain
I pull the thread, I break the chain

Chorus
This is a gambit, watch it fall
One decision breaks it all
I don’t need to raise my voice
Power lives in the choice
Checkmate written in my stare
I don’t win fair… I win aware

Bridge
I don’t burn what I touch
I let it collapse on its own
If you mistake my calm for mercy
You never stood a chance to know

Final Chorus
This is a gambit, last move made
No fear in the plans I laid
I don’t flinch, I don’t stall
I end the game, I take it all
No applause, no demand
Just the board exactly as I planned

Outro
Still standing, pieces down
That’s how control makes its sound
