There for a Reason - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Picture an imaginary line

Tracing the foundation of the house you never built

Concealing insecurities with casual replies

Disregard the wreckage till it showers you in guilt

And breathe in the debris that you find

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I can’t take time

If your hands stay tied

I can’t take time

If your hands—

[Chorus]

All I saw was street lights in the sky

Off of ninety-five

Hit the powerline

I don’t want to die

My crimes rectified

Penance and contrite

Terrors in the night

For the devil that’s inside

I wasn’t there for a reason

I didn’t fucking show up for a reason

I wasn’t there for a reason

[Verse 2]

Picture an imaginary line

Crossing out the narrative you never even wrote

Blank obituaries weighing heavy on your mind

Malice that you buried deep inside of every quote

And burn inside the words that you write

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You’re irresponsible (I can’t)

You’re an obstacle (Take time)

I could have stopped you though (If your hands)

I was incautious (Stay tied)

And I was illogical (I can’t)

So illogical (Take time)

That was impossible (If your hands)

I was too hostile to you (Stay tied)

[Chorus]

All I saw was street lights in the sky

Off of ninety-five

Hit the powerline

I don’t want to die

My crimes rectified

Penance and contrite

Terrors in the night

For the devil that’s inside

I wasn’t there for a reason

I didn’t fucking show up for a reason

I wasn’t there for a reason

[Chorus]

All I saw was street lights in the sky

Off of ninety-five

Hit the powerline

I don’t want to die

My crimes rectified

Penance and contrite

Terrors in the night

For the devil that’s—

I wasn’t there for a reason

I didn’t fucking show up for a reason

I wasn’t there for a reason

[Outro]

I can’t take time

If your hands stay tied
