63° at Midnight - Intellectual

[Verse]

Yeah, twice today

Maybe if I hit it a third time, it would be a charm

But I'm no prince, especially when they tell me that I'm fresh

You already know what it is

Yeah it's pride

It silences my soul, the ghost goes on a roll;

It gave me a chance, but I'm enchanted by the dance

So now I'm entranced

By the beautiful gyration, the movement is fascinating

I'm being assassinated on a vacation

From the breath;

I summit the flesh and then I plummet to death

Now I'm sweating, due to my late-night roleplay

But I always end up freezing, so I guess it's really Coldplay

My queen ain't B, it's P, the difference is subtle;

Says she's the queen of hearts, but it's clubs, so I'm in trouble

Diverting, perverting, averting, hurting and re-learning

How I can deceive everyone with which I'm serving

Notice the grammar is correct, not right

Like me when I turn off and on the sunlight

It's so dark, it feels like I'm beneath two yards

Couldn't decide between them, so I became hard

Looking up at a rock, you can call me stone-face;

This is what happens when you don't keep a slow pace

So I try

Not to fly

To close to the sun

But then nothing gets done

No I'm lackin' cause I'm slackin'; I'm reactin', not packin'

Which is basically to say I'm on defense, not attackin'

Now they beat my down, I'm back on the ground

Apparently chivalry is a word that's renowned

I've been here before. It doesn't feel original

I feel manipulated as if I were digital

But the film is now rolling away from me

And the light is gone so I can't capture anything

Rock me Amadeus is what my me is saying

But my Him knows that it’s a wicked game that I'm playing

And everyone around me is slaying

So I look to the sky and I begin praying:

[Chorus]

Somebody help me, I done seen things I don't wanna see

I just wanna be free, I just wanna be me

I just want my actions to say that I believe

Somebody help me, I know I can't do this right

I just wanna stay in the light, I wanna keep up the fight
