tenebrescence - Intellectual

[Pre-Chorus, Phillips]

Stop

With the world around you still

Breathe into me

Hold

Your fingers pressed against

Your heartbeat

[Chorus, harmony]

And everything that's here

Is rising in tone and saturation

It's an aching, it's a violence

It's a longing to erase the separation

[Indistinguishable]

[Verse 1]

Turn around and shout my name, I need to hear it

Come and pour out of my eyes like a flood

Pull me back to a time when I existed

Drown me in those memories

I wanna feel it all

Ooh-oh-oh

[Pre-Chorus, Emalyn]

Stop

With the world around you still

Breathe into me

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Hold

Your fingers pressed against

Your heartbeat

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Chorus, harmony]

And everything that's here

Is rising in tone and saturation

It's an aching, it's a violence

It's a longing to erase the separation

[Drop]

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

I don't wanna be happy

I don't wanna be good

I wanna be real

Ooh-oh-oh

I wanna be real!

[Verse 2, Phillips]

Looking up at me with hearts around your eyes

Stretching arms to beckon me back to that bed (ooh-oh-oh)

This is more than just a memory

It's the quiet place where everything that's warm and real inside of me still lives (ooh-oh-oh)

Break your crown and throw it tumbling to the earth

Burn the gates of heaven down if it's real (ooh-oh-oh)

Soak me in my mother's blood

Show me that your arms can hold me

Dive into the dying light and find me here (ooh-oh-oh)

[Outro]

Ooh-oh-oh

(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
