Grindstone - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

The illusion barely keeps you floating

The grinding of the wheel

Preys hard upon the languor

Yeah, things can get too real

Keep digging mental trenches

To keep the odd man out

Barbwire your identity

To secure what you’re about

And still you shatter on the grindstone

Lay listening to the ticking

To that timebomb in your heart

Paranoia's digging deeper

As defenses fall apart

Nothing left to give now

Just a smile before you leave

The living still left you wondering

If you can still believe

While you shatter on the grindstone

While you shatter upon the grindstone

Shatter

You shatter
