Pulse - Intellectual

[Verse 1 - J]

I need a new beginning

A slightly different mission

In a world where the opinion of others

States your position

Then in the same breathe

Can't tell a saint from a sinner

Not saying that I'm different

But I ponder my own innocence

The drop of the government's

Mallet changes fate.s sentence

Then be turned to a menace

Simply 'cause you have a vision

Now they'll kill you in an instant

Having your own intentions

God why can't you end this?

Never ill-willed this existence until...

I can't relay

My own eternal fate

Is it to walk through pearly gates

Or barb wire and stakes?

(I wished my family obeyed, they'll be punished, what am I doing wrong, will I be reborn, why, I need to stop thinking so much, will I die, do I want to live, I can't take this, I just can't)

Within the struggle

I find it's not too late

Trying please the physical being

My mind will decay

I've sat and wondered so long

On what's my mistake

But the future belongs not

To those who wait

[Hook - J]

Do not ever let them control you

Don't let them control you

Gotta fight through your sorrow

Fight for the ones that love you

Do not let them control you

Don't let them control you

I won't sit through corruption

I'll fight whether you're coming or not

I'll give it all that I got

Won't be retarded and get caught up

In what the system has brought

So if you roll with me

Keep your honor and dignity

To move through the plot in secrecy

And appease enemies 'cause we're all fronting

Then proceed at ease like you know nothing

Hitting them critically, so we...

[Lamea]

Be born in our new world!

[J]

It's our fantasy (yeah)

We can't stand how they're

Damaging humanity

[Verse 2 - J]

And to think all of this time

I thought it was best

To manage peoples harsh depression

And the ongoing threat

The system making the indifferent fit

To serve and protect

Existing in this system is only meant

To keep us in check

And THAT is the only way

So don't lead astray

Marching heartless towards lava

Blinded by protection

I REGRET these decisions made from other's perspective

Puppeteers pulling strings to morph my direction

Distort my reflection

And it never gets better

'Cause they're so tightly tethered

Since they've had me forever

Cutting strings only means

Ending life all together, I can't

Just sit, while they proceed whether

My fate...

I CAN create

My own eternal fate

Whether I walk through pearly gates

Or barbed wire and stakes

(I can make the change/family is all I have/why did I ever do that!!/this is my destiny, burn it down, I'll take lost with me, don't believe, this has to end now/I have to fight!)

Thinking about my past

I reminisce in dismay

I know that I can make a change

And I will make it today

With every breath I have left

I'll fight for what I believe

Even if breaking this cocoon

Means I die to be free!

[Hook]

[Verse 3 - J]

How could I let myself believe

Was blinded, finally I see

Never thought that I'd be

At my peace

I feel it pulsating

Deep within my soul

I can control its rate

Whether moving fast or slow

Only listen within these lyrics

And then you'll know

Only listen within my spirit

I'll take control!

(Hook - Reprise)

I won't ever let them control me!

Won't let them control me

Won't continue withholding

All that I know that molds me!

Do not let them control you!

Don't let them control you!

Do not sit through corruption, just fight

Whether you're stronger or not!

Just give it all that you got

Don't be retarded and get caught in

What the system has brought

And if you roll with me...
