Enemy - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I feel it slowly taking part of me (A part of me)

I fear the reins, I've lost control (I've lost control)

I try to tell myself I don't believe (I don't believe)

You laughed and asked me for my soul

Guess I thought you should know (You should know)

That the climb feels worse than the fall (The fall)

That I cut my own brakes when I stall (Surrender to me)

I'll build you up then break you down

I set fire to the exit (Exit)

Build a folly to a faithless architect

Embrace the entropy

I push you in to tear you out

Floating in my thoughts again (Again)

Dreaming myself awake

It's like I'm falling for the highs that I crave (I crave)

But outside, it's all decay, yeah

Every night, I escape to where I'm meant to be

Laid alone, yet I'm sleeping with the enemy

It's nothing new to me

It pulls me in to see me drown

Floating in my thoughts again (Again)

Dreaming myself awake

It's like I'm falling for the highs that I crave (I crave)

But outside, it's all decay, yeah

Turn the lights out, short the circuitry

I'm the god-king of this purgatory

I'm the ghost in your machinery

What do you want?

I want you 'cause you're already me

Killing the phantom that keeps you alive

Alive
