Coil - Intellectual

[Verse]

Back on the street where you pinedfor the simple times

The kind i’m desperate to drive somewhere out of mind

Thought every record was wiped, but a backup is stored in your gaze

I can’t look you in the face

Recast your absence with friends who don’t realize

Your name will be in the credits of my demise

Since we’ve been role playing as strangers for so long

It’s hard to keep track of who was in on the act

You’re just a walk away

Mеmories are thawing in my head

Hеre lies the mess i made just the same as how i left it then

Out of its resting place in my brain as something to forget

Do not resuscitate

Give up the ghost now

I went out looking for signs with my head held high

Was really looking for planes, you’re due back tonight

Assumed you’d land nowhere near ground i stomp on

Well unlucky guess, cause here you are in the flesh

Stuck to the opposite wall with your shifty eyes

Unsure of whether it’s me or a lookalike

The lesson being there’s hardly a difference

I’m not one of one, just find another and run

You’re just a walk away

Memories are thawing in my head

Here lies the mess i made just the same as how i left it then

Out of its resting place in my brain as something to forget

Do not resuscitate

Give up the ghost now

Oh what the fuck am i doing

Walk away and start unspooling

Trace my loose threads back to you and

Drain the thrill from this chase, tonight my theories deflate, love

You’re just a walk away

Memories are thawing in my head

Here lies the mess i made just the same as how i left it then

Out of its resting place in my brain as something to forget

Do not resuscitate

Give up the ghost now
