Cannibal Within - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I didn't know I'm neurotic

I never thought I was scared of dying at all

I always thought my biggest fear would somehow be love related, not fentanyl

I can blame the addiction for that

With the additional countdown to a heart attack

When the beating comes from the irregular drum

I swear to every single God I'm done, it's the last time

Everyone knows it's a lie

By the time I'm feeling fine again

It's just another line

And another line

And all the parts we hate start adding up

Until we find ourselves with more regret than blood

And the moment we can't recognize the person inside our skin

We're losing the fight, eaten alive by the cannibal within

In a major turn of events

It turns out I'm depressed

They say I use jokes and joy to avoid the realization

But I can think of solutions for that

Just turn on the radio and cock it back

I just don't wanna blow my brains out to Hotel California

And all the parts we hate start adding up

Until we find ourselves with more regret than blood

And the moment we can't recognize the body we're living in

We're losing the fight, eaten alive by the cannibal within

And that overwhelming feeling

Oh, the pressure in my chest

To swim against the sinking feeling

That today might be my last

But everything looks bigger

In the mirror of the sea

Come see how lonely of a hunter

The heart tends to be

And all the parts we hate start adding up

Until we find ourselves with more regret than blood

And the moment we can't recognize the person inside our skin

We're losing the fight, eaten alive by the cannibal within
