Gemstar - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Contradict the "sticks stones break brittle bones" sayin'

I've been known to use words as razorblades

Some nights your crib was nothing more than a place to stay

A rest haven 'till the break of day

Break away from the same old same old

Monotony will drain the soul

Combat all vain attempts to gain control

The never ending struggle between, sun and moon

A peasant with no love for a queen, sun is doomed

To a foul existence, a foul lifestyle

The only thing that I'm concerned with is the right now

Momentary fulfillment

Spent nights messing with temptresses and questioning your real intent

What we had was beautiful, I can't deny that

Lost touch with the world, caught in your venus flytrap

Sidetracked, forgot all about my true love

Beats rhymes and L.I.F.E. Crew neglected fuckin' with you love

I know you weren't tryin' to hold me back, you told me that

But something brought the old me back, too cold to react

To the world around, numb from head to toe

Runnin' from myself, too selfish to let you know

[Chorus]

It started off so perfect, the shirt fit

Sure to lift the curse that lives beneath the surface

Sick of [?] with perverse urges

Nervous at first reminiscent of my first kiss

And I convinced myself that it was a love thing

We fucked for hours once the poison flooded my bloodstream

Kicked it everyday for weeks straight, no need for a break

Content in your presence and lost in a dream state

I reawaken, like "look at the time love"

Confined to your bedroom, lookin' to find love

Waste away the day lost in your smile

Escape the shades of gray at least for a while

(Come on)

[Turntablism: scratched vocal sample]

Her feelings was so--

Her feelings was so--so, so strong

Feelings was so--so--so, so strong

[Verse 2]

The reoccurring theme, find something so pure

Make believe it's love, everything ya hope for

So sure at the core it's all folklore

Curse the gods 'till your throat's sore

Eyeliner drippin' down your solemn face (solemn face)

I know you still hopin' there's a chance things'll fall in place (fall in place)

All for nothing, cursin' infidelity

I'm hollow inside and gotta fill the void with selfish need

Connect hips in repetition

Wet lips and move on to the next position

Sweat drippin' off your flesh slippin'

My decisions made in intoxicated states

The consequence your actions hit ya once you catch a slap across the face

Avoided phone calls from so and so, self-destruction

Set to drive off a cliff, crash and burn tell 'em nothing

A sucker for cheap thrills covered in silk sheets

Bitter sweet free will sleep, deceitful freaks

Left the queen behind for something less divine (less divine)

Fools rush in and lose interest in time

These are interesting times nothing sacred or pure

The moment the thrill is gone I'm headin' straight for the door
