Bitterness - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Now you read through the lives of the saints

And you said I would have a bigger beggar's bowl

But now all you read is a list of complaints

Bitterness poisons the soul

You're a student of archaeology

You take comfort in cities that fall

When you smashed your place up you thought you were making history

Bitterness poisons the soul

You took your name apart and you put it back

As someone you never really wanted to know

Now you're just as helpless as those you attack

Bitterness poisons the soul

I don't know if I will ever love again

You like to wear expensive designer shades

You're so cool you turn spring into fall

But you find as the world darkens, it's you that fades

Bitterness poisons the soul

So you dig through your closets for old truths you used to wear

Like an actor who forgot his role

Like a coward jonesing for the next big scare

Bitterness poisons the soul

I don't know if I will ever love again
