Predators - Intellectual

[Chorus]

The Predators, down time

Wishing I was outside

I wipe the shadows off my skin

Fix me

My ability to focus is flimsy

Retracing footsteps briskly to find the darkness literally

On the other side of the fence

I thought that I was helping it

I'm distracted by kick drums

Just another one of my symptoms

I hope I live down to my expectations, wait

I heard there's more to life besides writing and pretending that I'm immortalized

Like plastic in a landfill

Digest me with a glass of water, a hip-hop tablet of Advil

Genesis in the doctor's sample

I'm trying to retreat as a hermit with bad cursive

Adverse with an urgent scrambled message and a self-trampled exit

Why pretend I like to pretend I'm balancing like most of you?

I live in the palace of dreams with no roof

And the rent is overdue

The Predators, down time

Wishing I was outside

I wipe the shadows off my skin

In the start

I thought it was only gonna be fun and games

Little did I know the stress that the future contained

Sometimes I can't breathe, sometimes I can't stand me

I wish that I was safe from being another artistic casualty

The love is still in there somewhere

Encapsulated between the ink and the pages

Waiting to surround me like a warm blanket

I'm threatened by all six sides, but I don't desire to run

I don't change enough

I'm constantly divided by one, biting my tongue

Trying as hard as I can to release the ill

There goes Sape again

Literal not ever making sense

Picture me abusing similes

I would rather abuse the commercial industry

For tainting the beauty that I need

The Predators, down time

Wishing I was outside

I wipe the shadows off my skin
