Evanescence - Intellectual

Spent a week in Mexico

Listening to Leonard

Parked outside a Texaco

I altered my demeanor

Here I get a bit meaner

She tell me I’m a sweetie

I let her have her feelings

This time I won't correct her

“Damn you’re getting sweeter”

I leave her there repeating

Her route around the meter

Such a sadness in the sequence

Oh I hope she finds a equal

You were my longest evanescence

Now I barely stand your presence

And you I hardly mention

I can’t justify my temper

You were my longest evanescence

Now I barely stand your presence

And you I hardly mention

I can’t justify my temper

Wow so this is hatred

Deeper now not faded

I write and I feel better

But only slightly precious

“I’m almost done I promise”

This is what i tell my conscience

To free me from this clogging

That is evolving in my noggin

My CPU she’s hogging

But she’s not worth the taunting

Jaded would be a massive understatement

God dammit she’s about to hate me

I’m like a bait and a hook and savior

Wrapped in a blunt, go to the chorus now

You were my longest evanescence

Now I can barely stand your presence

And you I hardly mention

I can’t justify my temper

You’re my longest evanescence

Now I barely stand your presence

And you I hardly mention

I can’t justify my temper

You were my longest evanescence

Now I barely stand your presence

Ol’ Shrike Simmons had a way with the women

The town won’t forgive him ‘tween the barbs and the windmills

“You ever seen a body spin until it fission?”

My how I disassociate and daydream

When she’s bitching

My ire starts to tremble in my chest just like a song

It permeates my bubble like a fog machine fore dawn

They desecrate your temple with bottle caps and rot

I wanna kill them all

Ba ba ba ba bop!

“Zippity do da

Zippity ay

My oh my what a wonderful day

Plenty of sunshine, headed my way

Zippity do da zippity ay!”

“Zippity do da

Zippity ay

My oh my what a wonderful day

Plenty of sunshine, headed my way

Zippity do da zippity!”

You were my longest evanescence

Now I barely stand your presence

And you I hardly mention

I can’t justify my temper

You’re my longest evanescence

Now I barely stand your presence

And you I hardly mention

I can’t justify my temper
