I Quit - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I played this game too long, and I wanna quit

Don't know where I belong, but this isn't it

So so long to all the good times that we had

Mostly you telling me

Do this or do that

You made me think this feeling was wrong

I wish I had thought for myself all along

There's no need to follow

Or tell me to change

I'm sure that some poor soul will come take my place

[Chorus]

And I've been trying

And I've been dying inside

I'm sorry, but I can't

Spend my life biding my time

[Post Chorus]

It only got worse, with meaningless work

You promised me something like Heaven on Earth

But I don't want the riches, I don't want the gold

What's that gonna do for me when I get old?

[Verse 2]

Work smarter, work harder

Do what you gotta do to get farther

Don't have time to wonder why we bother

You don't wanna make a disappointed father

Don't be bold, don't you wanna live longer

Everything kills, there's no getting stronger

Joy is gone, it seems that you forgot her

When you're old you won't remember when you lost her

Just live your life, you don't need a meaning in it

Stop your heart, you can't trust the beating in it

And your mind?

Everything's misleading in it

So give it away, just give it away

And when you're drunk just be a little tipsy

Too much noise can be a little risky

Choose a path but please don't be too picky

Changing course is tricky

And you know the clock's a ticking, ticking

Don't you ever look back

Grab all your things and run

You don't have time to stop along the way to feel it

Love is gold up ahead

And you know you want some

But Vanity's all that is under the sun

And you'll begin to think you're already dead

And you'll regret the careful life that you led

All that you did, all that you said came verbatim straight off of the script that you read

[Chorus]

And I've been trying

And I've been dying inside

I'm sorry but I can't

Spend my life biding my time

[Post Chorus]

It only got worse

With meaningless work

You promised me something like Heaven on Earth

But I don't want the riches

I don't want the gold

But what's that gonna do for me when I get old?

[Bridge]

On your mark, get set, go!

He's sledding!

I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I'll be alright

On your mark, get set-

[Outro]

Broken by great expectations

My future was fated

I can't fucking take this

I'm sorry I'm not who I'm supposed to be

The kid from my memories turned back a long time ago

And everyone says that I'm changing

How long was I faking?

I'm tired of this part I've been playing

I miss how it used to be

It all worked so beautifully

So if this is it then forget it

'Cause I quit
