Enough - Intellectual

[Intro]

Your beauty burns me, like a brand upon my soul, it's honestly quite simple

I'll trip on overburdened, pretentiously poetic words to say

That I could never deserve your embrace

An awkward dancer, I fret upon the stage, making a mockery of sincerity

The most pathetic part of all of my performance, that I truly mean each word I say

How do you love that which cannot love itself? The poets say that it's impossible

How can I rest my head while falling, knowing there will be no soft embrace to catch my fall

My heart tears itself apart attempting to find a reason to pump blood

Though hopeless in my romanticism, I am not a fool

I know, an empty cup could never fill another, still

Could something as effortlessly perfect as yourself

Find it in your heaving heart to sympathize with a wretch such as myself

Maybe we could be the moss laden, tender branches

That caress and cradle each other's fragile blooms

We both know this could never be forever

But just for tonight, maybe this could be enough

Then I awake, as the cruel morning's light burns my face

Blistering winds blow through the curtains, wrap tendrils around my feet

And truth be told, the cold would be easier to face

If I could know that you were waiting for me

I can no longer discern whether or not my desire for affection

Has become a cast or a crutch, a muse or an addiction

Are you my muse, or my addiction?

I don't fucking care

Just wrap me in your gentle snare, as long as you whisper sweet nothings

I will still be there, I am still here

Though hopeless in my romanticism, I am not a fool

I know, an empty cup could never fill another, still

Could something as effortlessly perfect as yourself

Find it in your heaving heart to sympathize with a wretch such as myself

Maybe we could be the moss laden, tender branches

That caress and cradle each other's fragile blooms

We both know this could never be forever

But just for tonight, maybe this could be enough

It's honestly quite simple, ridiculously, pathetically so

My turbulent, overcompensating love, will find a place to hurt you

I have become the very co-dependent curse that once afflicted me

But still, if you could stay nestled in this innocent embrace

Even just long enough that we might have a taste of momentary security

Just for tonight, just until light, maybe that could be enough
