I Hate It Here - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Stand at your battle stations

We’re holding out for the rain

To march the end of the uphill

Though it will still be the same

Years down the walls start to close in

Did you think I’d never change?

Gasping for air at the surface

I think I hate this place

Without you I might be nothing, but at least I can be nothing alone Resentment builds 'til it gets toxic and I can't stand it anymore

Without you nothing defines me, but at least that means that there’s a blank slate

Maybe I can be someone I don’t hate

For every well wish I’m still

Stuck on the little things

The kiss-offs and snide comments

The bitterness still stings

The noise is overwhelming

I feel like I can’t breathe

Spiral, stare at the ceiling

Someone please just let me leave

Without you I might be nothing, but at least I can be nothing alone Resentment builds 'til it gets toxic and I can't stand it anymore

Without you nothing defines me, but at least that means that there’s a blank slate

Maybe I can be someone I don’t hate

You wouldn’t know but we’re halfway from breaking

Any hope is personal and we will turn it all into shame

Flustered and broke you wake up tired and shaking

What was the point of it all if you’ve got nothing to show for yourself?

Without you I might be nothing, but at least I can be nothing alone Resentment builds 'til it gets toxic and I can't stand it anymore

Without you nothing defines me, but at least that means that there’s a blank slate

Maybe I can be someone I don’t hate

Maybe I can finally be okay
