Torsion - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I can only imagine how I'd meet the eyes

A crooked insanity-ridden device

Nearing the crux that I'm here to devise

My intentions were pure and that's what I'll be judged by

Taking my place with the ashes in the sky

I'd abide

But a hellish pit on which you plan to build is still corruption's toy

Was I really a leader or something more sinister, the rhetoric that I employed?

With cartilage dribbling down my chin (I led a succulent following)

Their temperament as tender as their skin (I led a succulent following)

It sustained me, please sustain

What was that…?

What was that sound?

Look at me, validate me, my friends

I know you're nearby, we all have the ends and the means

The ends and the means

If this ungodly Yahoo's my only admirer

I'd sooner defect from my eyes to inspire resistance from its gaze

Resistance from my gaze

I started a fire

Nobody can know what happened here

Good evening my friends, my closest disciples come near

Though the entrance has crumbled, the windows are barred

There's no way inside, call reality marred

I'm so happy to see you, it must have been hard to get in here

I think I've come to terms with what happened, inspired by the remnants I found

Our people's will can still be salvaged, I've noticed altruism's abound

What was that…?

What was that sound?

With cartilage dribbling down my chin (I led a succulent following)

Their temperament as tender as their skin (I led a succulent following)

It sustained me, please sustain
