The Fall - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I remember when you slipped away

Like, sand inside the pocket, couldn't stop it once it started

Babe, sex went from a blessing to a phase

A formless expressive, plastic

Slanted, broken, bent and fitted wrong

A slo-mo incision, you're vicious

I miss when you were my favorite song

Now I don't know the lyrics anymore

And I know we're both better off

Even though it doesn't feel that way at all

When a new one does come along

I'm just hoping I'll be ready for the fall

Wicker from the candles you would burn

I still smell your cigarettes in all my favorite shirts

But, just another lesson I should learn

A game for the reckless, Tetris

Battleship is sunk, I'm drunk and high

My head's desecrated

My heart is still alive

I wore out all my welcomes

I'm done with being selfish

And I know we're both better off

Even though it doesn't feel that way at all

When a new one does come along

I'm just hoping I'll be ready for the fall

And I know we're both better off

Even though it doesn't feel that way at all

When a new one does come along

I'm just hoping I'll be ready for the fall
