Take It For Granted - Intellectual

[Spoken Word]

Hey man I got your call last night, what’d you call for?

I just, I just needed someone. I just needed to let someone else know what's going on

Alright so umm, start from the beginning

[Verse 1]

It was probably 2:13 when I looked outside

And saw a golden gleam that turned clouds into movie scenes

But where those thoughts came from I didn't know nor what they would mean

Somehow I grew flowers in the shadows

Of hidden intentions that are apprehensive

There I admit it but it takes one time

To changе a lifetime but this is a life linе

Or I could just cry for help (Calm down, I hear you)

Two choices risk getting hurt by someone else

Or I could sit here self medicating trying to save myself, welp

Soon enough we'll see, layers on layers peeled to unmask absolutely nothing

But a boy who's afraid those childish ways

Are still in effect to this day and if so I'm a caterpillar that'll fly one day

Healing the scars that came from being a moth to a flame

[Chorus]

I'll see you another day if I don't that's okay

I hope this is fate and not another mistake

Cuz I've been making them more frequent

Like how I take things for granted

That's when I see how much damage

Can be dealt to the things I cherish

[Verse 2]

So what's the next move because this hourglass is getting low on sand

Is that time really happening, now

Oh, I should know, I'm the one getting the visions

So I should know the difference or the quotient

I don't need to be quoted or goated

Just be more outspoken

Instead sitting, looking, and feeling hopeless

Guess why I’m mortified of getting attached

Because all dies and that piece ain't coming back

And that's a hard truth to live with

Like treading on a line that is very thin

Or climbing a tree with rotten branches

But I make it through these long years

Not without my skin getting seared

I picked up the torch, it only makes sense I came out scorched

I was told expecting an applause is highly deplored

Even if you got the highest score

Maybe, maybe that's why I'm so torn
