Cinder Block - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Lost my weakness with the cherry

Save that valor for a baby

You're just holding a tether

You'll do what you want forever

[Verse 2]

Always copying the sun

Do you love to burn?

Baby, welcome to my garden

All the light here is a bargain

[Verse 3]

Only violent if you count thoughts

White tights around a cinder block

Over and over, clenching teeth

Something in there for me to keep

[Verse 4]

Pall Malls glistening in the ocean

And you want to travel blind

And you trust me 'cause I've touched your perfect body with my mind

Your perfect body with my mind

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 5]

If I got what I wanted

Would I want the thing I got?

Make a mess or make a difference

But that's asking for a lot

[Verse 6]

I've been stitching up your fat lip

You don't care for needles, do you?

Just be patient three more minutes

This is my hallelujah

[Verse 7]

Put the joke on loop forever

Change the punchline every time

I'm done trying to be clever

I just think what's mine is mine

[Verse 8]

I got Jack Sparrow's compass

It isn't a fucking toy

I don't like what I'm becoming

But that's beside the point

Baby, that's beside the point

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 9]

You ran out the front door screaming

Marigold and sleepy-eyed

Like the wisest of all heartbreak

You can say at least you tried

[Verse 10]

Pitter-patter goes the doldrums

This tin roof has sprung a leak

Took the L in all directions

My forgiveness makes me weak
