Shift - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You settle for the things that you don't want

You said it was your weakness

You said to wait for things to work out

Soon things will work out

You're searching for an easy way around

You're searching for the way out

You're asking why I'm so uncertain

Soon things will work out

Writing on the wall is glowing like a flash of neon

Wind changing direction everywhere that we go

We never stop, I never thought

We'd cause each other this pain

Giving it all, the blood we draw

Comes from only dead veins

Look at the signs - the end is now

Shifting to the next phase

Giving this up for something more

Don't we deserve something more?

I settled for the thing I couldn't keep

And now I'm in a wasteland

You said I knew how things would turn out

Things wouldn't turn out

You're searching for the thing you'll never have

You're searching for a way back

Now you know why I'm so certain

Things wouldn't work out

Time to break away and feel the pulse of a new lover

Time that we stop hiding from the truth that we know
