Making Circles - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Making circles in the dark to find we're clouded

We're lost

No use counting on the stars to guide us over it

This constant motion

Bright minds resigned to silence, I'm done living through this lens

Given the light of solace is all I have

By waking up, are we starting over?

We're building our defense to avoid making our amends

We're kneeling to the forces that made us powerless

We move on and forget

Is it possible to not be swеpt into violence?

Why is it just so hard to fight it?

Yeah (Yеah, yeah, yeah)

They'll turn this on its head

They'll say you're one of the sheep, placated and on display

To blood-soaked lies under a branded cross

Remiss to think that I'd be fixated on what you think

You're in my way

Temporary lies told by temporary kings

If you think that you're beside yourself, you're already ahead

By waking up, are we starting over?

Rebuilding our defense to avoid making our amends

We're kneeling to the forces that made us powerless

We move on and forget

Is it possible to not be swept into violence?

Why is it just so hard to fight it?

Through all the problems and all the pain

When all the answers are all the same, we move on and just forget

Through all the problems and all the pain

When all the answers are all the same, we move on

If we could choose to just believe we hold nothing for ourselves

Then we could live our lives like one disillusioned with above

Or we could rot inside our shells, too scared to face the truth

We are slaves to our own laws

So much for the fist of God

Now that you're gone, I'm questioning everything

But I'm convinced of this, you were in my way

You were in my way
