Deviate - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Patrick Lloyd & Holly Royle]

Enduring the darkness I want to defy

Deviate from this life

Fighting so long, we can't remember any other way

What's left is bound to decay

You would not hear

You would not save me

Cast these demons out my soul

[Chorus: Patrick Lloyd]

I have seen through your lies, looked past your disguise

Emerged from the shadows of my past

I'll cast off these ties, renounce all these vows

My voice is now yielding a dissonant sound

Escaped from your walls, you’re blind to the fall

You were betrayed by your fortune

You live on in my thoughts, lamentable tyrant

Your time has come

[Verse 2: Patrick Lloyd & Holly Royle]

But now here I stand, a ghost of myself

Irrational fears are controlling my life

My mind is a cage, concealing these chains

These phantoms unyielding, unending this hell

I feel this connection (I feel this connection)

I see what's left inside

My mind is afflicted (My mind is afflicted)

I'm praying for something more

To spite you I’ll vanquish these demons inside

Every step that I take leaves another mistake

Reminds me I'm human, overcoming these flaws

Stand back and see we're fighting an endless war

We're fighting an endless war

We're fighting an endless war (Deviate)

I will deviate

You would not hear

You would not save me

You would not hear

You would not save me
