Licorice - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I can't blame a self-made mirage

Eyes closed tight but I hear the noise

I’m shuttin' off the whisper but I still feel the voice

Night comes by to pull me from the day

Light still shines but I look away

My heart keeps pullin' me back but I won't obey

I get to feelin' like a stranger in my skin

God bless the restless for the shit we can't admit

A sweeter sin, you rope me in

You give me what I never thought that I would wish

Sweet and tough like licorice

A double take that takes more than it’s giving

(You won't admit, you won't еscape it)

Give me a rеason to give in

(So why try fighting it)

Just one more bite, another sugar rush

I keep wanting more but I've had enough

I've had enough

I get to feelin' like a stranger in my skin

God bless the restless for the shit we can't admit

A sweeter sin, you rope me in

You give me what I never thought that I would wish

Sweet and tough like licorice

Just one more bite, another sugar rush

I keep wanting more but I've had enough, ooh

Is this real, the things I feel, some addiction that I face

Shades of the red load in my head, is this why I still shake

No I never judged the weight of this choice I made

With a sweet sensation comes a bitter aftertaste

I get to feelin' like a stranger in my skin

God bless the restless for the shit we can't admit

A sweeter sin, you rope me in

You give me what I never thought that I would wish

Sweet and tough like licorice
