Affinity - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

So you say you have acquired an affinity for

The darker side of all that we've been given

And you need a way to make the world listen

To the words you have to say

And you endeavor so hard but you keep on failing

Until you become addicted to the feeling of failure

And you can't slow down for it's far too uncomfortable

To stray too far from practical reality

So you say you have acquired an affinity for

The darker side of all that we've been given

And you need a way to make the world listen

To the words you have to say

And you endeavor so hard but you keep on failing

Until you become addicted to the feeling of failure

And you can't slow down for it's far too uncomfortablе

To stray too far from practical reality

Inhibit judgement holy onе, let him do what he will

To he his way is just as true as your way is to you

No king of world nor self is he who has not tamed the beast

That lures one to upset the crowd through unfounded belief

Respect for that which lies beyond one's current comprehension

Is that which will unlock the door to wisdom and affection

Inhibit judgment holy one, let him do what he will

To he, your way is as untrue as his way is to you

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

So you say you have acquired an affinity for

The darker side of all that we've been given

And you need a way to make the world listen

To the words you have to say

And you endeavor so hard but you keep on failing

Until you become addicted to the feeling of failure

You need a way to make the world listen to the words you have to say

Why don't you listen to yourself?
