The Flower - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I have a problem with something I said

I pushed it too far as I became possessed

Lately I've been a stranger, put so much on the line

Walk on glass in the morning so I can rectify the night

I wish I could...

Get under my skin and plant a flower

Let it grow into a garden, sow the beauty that you need

I've watched my pride begin to sour all of the virtue inside of me

Can't bear to watch you leave, no

But good or evil – it all starts with a seed

I thought I was on my way

But the villain in my throat had much more to say

Out! How do I let it out? How do I let it out?

How do I sever the vines from 'round my wrists

And free us from under this brewing storm cloud?

How do I let it out? Tell me now, tell me now!

I'm on my knees, I'm tangled amongst the reeds

Tighter and tighter, I'm losing the fight to breathe

If I could harvest all my best parts for you

Discarding the rest would be the least that I could do

Get under my skin and plant a flower

Let it grow into a garden, sow the beauty that you need

I've watched my pride begin to sour all of the virtue inside of me

Can't bear to watch you leave, no

But good or evil – it all starts with a...

(Good or evil – it all starts with a seed)

Dreaming of sunlight, condemned to the dirt

Washing my hands of the sins I have taught, and those you have learned

I'm taking some time underground now, to salvage the petals I burned

If poison to me is salvation to you then I'll take it, I'll take it, I'll take it

Now watch me in...
