Heretic - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

It's such a perfect day to be washed away

I went and sat by the shore and I counted the waves

I counted a hundred and eight reasons I want to escape

But then the reasons, they'd crash upon the shore and they'd break

I don't think I've got the stamina for this anymore

I'm not sure, that's why I'm here by the shore

But I'm sure that I'm so tired

Of searching for messiahs

Asking why, why, why, why, why, why

Must I battle this Goliath

I'm a force of nature, don't you know, I'm aware of it

But I'm so very sick of feeling so very sick

I'm tortured by the gods, I guess that I'm a heretic

Life keeps on fuckin' me, I wish that life was celibate

My problems keep on peaking like the Everest

The elephant in the room is that my room is in the elephant

Becoming evident that we make fear president

When fear trumps love, that's when the soul becomes irrelevant

Ah-ah, ah-ah

When my troubles keep on mountin'

I make molehills out of mountains

Roundabouts of doubt are sounding

Drown my youth inside the fountain

I'm a fuckin' atom bomb, bitch

Pourin' salt into the wound, watch me rip apart that stitch

I'm that kid, the one that life's subtracted

Isolated, fractured, Shakespeare re-enacted, adapted

For music, it's too sick

I'm shining like Kubrick

My method is clockwork

A full metal dude with

My eyes on the prize

Do you obey, do you abide?

What is the price of creativity? Is it losing your mind?

And seeing patterns in the places where the pattern's hard to find

Ah-ah, ah-ah

All alone, all alone

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ah-ah, ah-ah
