Diluted - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

We have survived this life so far

But how far have we really come?

What stops us from finally feeling complete?

The time I have taken to myself has left me with the feeling

That I may just be fine all alone

The leaves once green

Now a fiery red

Crackle underfoot as we make our way

Past the rotten pillars of our past discretions

I need this to be over

I know that now

Holding on to cold hands

And sunken eyes

Hasn’t held the same charm as it once did

I am fast approaching my rebirth

No more childish dreams

No more adolescent desires

No more breath of fresh air

Leave me to my work

I am not like all the others

My love and my hate for you are infinite

May I walk through this hideous world without fear of regret

I shall consume the hate that consumes me

Let me wash away my pain and mistrust

In the tears of those foolish enough to get in my way

I shall cut off the hand at the wrist

And feed upon my master

None can be better

None will be stronger

And no one will hold judgment over my head

For I am the beacon

The forest fire

The tire yard set ablaze

I am the smoldering ember in the darkness that surrounds us all

This is my passion

This is my calling

This is my prison

This is me

My love and my hate for you are infinite
