Only a Memory - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I can't help but close my eyes for life

And dream a different ending

When I wake, I won't be so exhausted

And I'll stop with my pretending

That I'm fine, I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

And my lie will drown out all of yours

I will not bend until I break

How much can one bruised body take?

Just not enough to silence me

You're only a memory

I'll scream these words till they come true

Then I will think no more of you

Look back on what I'm going through

This isn't my identity

You will bleed for what your hands have done

You can't outrun your ending

And I'll get well long before you let yourself

I may forgive you but you never will

I will not bend until I break

How much can one bruised body take?

Just not enough to silence me

You're only a memory

I'll scream these words till they come true

Then I will think no more of you

Look back on what I'm going through

This isn't my identity

And I told you, I told you, you had no right

How damaged you must be

Watch you panic, it's tragic, you'll carry this for life

You have my sympathy

I will not bend until I break

How much can one bruised body take?

Just not enough to silence me

You're only a memory

I'll scream these words till they come true

Then I will think no more of you

Look back on what I'm going through

This isn't my identity

You're only a memory, this isn't my identity

I will not bend, I will not break

This isn't my identity
