MANIC - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Ain't it strange that the people closest to me know nothing 'bout my mind yet?

I complain, but the laughter seems to always grow

It puts me in confinement

Locks and chains built the demons that I can't control

I'm done trying to hide it

Darker days, seem to light the path that many don't

I think I almost like it?

You think I won't break the silence?

When it's quiet, I get violent, I get loud

In the crowd, I see lots of people

People let me down, I'm a loner, manic

Because it's easy to give anything for love

They call me crazy 'cause I'm doing what I want now

You'd be surprised the things I've done in mania

I'd rather crack than stay something I am not now

My paranoia helps me see through the fakes, uh

None of this is real, 'La La Land' isn't safe, uh

Way too many people try to bleed for the fame

I'd rather let my mind go

You think I won't break the silence?

When it's quiet, I get violent, I get loud

Angels falling, winter's coming, coming to–
