Inventing The Wheel - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

She's missing in action, you can read her like the times

Splitting hairs and giving airs, she's guilty of the crime

Don't underestimate the murder your eyes can commit

Killing me so tenderly when you won't just admit you're suffering

Gold rush and mercury indoctrination spoon

Some buy their way in mercy, some get taken out too soon

The rest of us run underneath like rain in the ravine

Flowing with bloodline and pollution trying to get clean

Life and all its fragility

Leaving her imprints upon mе

A riddle I cannot begin to guess

Shе's not inventing the wheel

She's not the first to feel

Like she's the only one coming up against herself

She's the spitting image of her old man in a spiral

The more responsibility, the more you crave denial

The wind speaks like an orator, some message from the wild

Like the courage of a mother, letting go of her first child

Life and all its fragility

Running at the center of living

A riddle I cannot begin to guess

She's not the crop or the cream, she's not about to seem

Like she's the only one coming up against herself

How long, how wide, and how deep? How bad could it be?

To blow it off and run away from yourself?

Waking up to a heavy cup, ambition drinking me

Helpless I watch another death, lay out on TV

I render it down to size and sound 'til it comes as no surprise

To sleep all through the night and still wish to open my eyes

Life and all her fragility

The midwife of this urgency

A moment I may never get again
