In the Light - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Every street looks the same

Every house painted grey

In this cul-de-sac

Like a panic attack

And these cars drive by

And go all night

Maybe one day, you'll leave it all behind

I know it's hard to feel alone

And be a stranger in your home

Lost out in the night

And if you feel like leaving

You don't need a reason

Just pack a bag and drive out to the ocean

And you're crying in your kitchen

What a shame you ever listened

To everybody telling you you're broken

So fuck all you bought, it ain't what you got

And be who you need and not what you're taught

You know from all this pain, you cannot hide

And stand there in the light

You can say you're not alone

But you're crying on the phone

'Cause he treats you like an asshole

You still got that dog tattoo

Just staring back at you

And we both know there ain't nothing 'round here to look at

You know you gotta get away

Before you fall into your grave
