Abandon - Intellectual

[Intro]

(I abandon hope)

[Verse 1]

I conjure the phantom of another hollow you

Then drag it to the bottom

Pretending in a cycle I find sacred

But I mean nothing to you

Just a piece of the pattern in your ruse

I spiral into chaos riptides

[Chorus]

I abandon hope

Believing we'd survive this

While sinking in a crisis

That's drowning only me

Tried to follow ghosts

I'm grasping for the shadows

As if it ever mattered

I'm unseen

[Verse 2]

I'm drifting in water that will overtake my thoughts

And pull me to the bottom

Descending in a matrix

I am a foolish whimper

Disappearing with no echo and

I spiral into chaos riptides

[Chorus]

I abandon hope

Believing we'd survive this

While sinking in a crisis

That's drowning only me

Tried to follow ghosts

I'm grasping for the shadows

As if it ever mattered

I'm unseen

[Bridge]

The pressure crushes my chest!

(The pressure)

(The pressure crushes my chest)

The pressure crushes my chest!

The anchor on my heart!

[Pre-Chorus]

(The pressure crushes my chest)

(But feels gentle compared to the anchor on my heart)

(I abandon, abandon hope)

[Chorus]

I abandon hope

Believing we'd survive this

While sinking in a crisis

That's drowning only me

I abandon hope

Tried to follow ghosts

I'm unseen

[Outro]

I abandon hope

Believing we'd survive this

(I abandon hope)

While sinking in a crisis

That's drowning only me

(I abandon hope)
