Shakedown - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Koethe]

I was done, I was over

With the tales, with the stories I had spun

For the love of it

I was fucked, I was fucked up

I was caught, I was caught up in the way

That it could have been

And do you wonder

What it's like to lose your head?

So sick, I think I need a way out

So stuck, I'm planning my escape now

Can't take it gotta break it somehow

Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown

Welcome to the shakedown

And down, but not out for the count

Are we there? Is it almost time?

Are we young? Are we older?

Are we high? Are we sober yet?

Will we hurt when we cross the line?

And do you know

What it is like losing your mind?

So sick, I think I need a way out

So stuck, I'm planning my escape now

Can't take it gotta break it somehow

Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown

I was done, I was over

My head, I was drowning

Inescapable was it

I was left, I was locked up

I was held, I was caught up in the way

That it should have been

So sick, I think I need a way out

So stuck, I'm planning my escape now

Can't take it gotta break it somehow

Ready for it, welcome to the shakedown
