Hell Here - Intellectual

[Intro: Tyler Small & Chase Papariello]

Hold back the tide

And you're the tip of the spear

Always and only the words you fear

"Well, no one needs you", well, no one needs you

I distanced myself from what I needed most

[Verse 1: Chase Papariello & Tyler Small]

Now it envelopes me again

Passive aggression in the wake of regret

All the things I've left behind

I am my own thorn in my side

Circumstances allow the world to spin backwards

No one pays who truly deserves

And those who know nothing

Can understand nothing

[Chorus: Tyler Small]

And I've been bitter for so many months

Watching the stars blink out, one by one

Clawing at my eyes, screaming at the sun

One day I swear I'll be loud enough

Plunge your hands back into the filth

Fight with all of your self-control

Mind over matter

This temple you once called your own

[Bridge: Tyler Small & Chase Papariello]

I don't know how I couldn't see through the cracks in my shell

I don't know how they didn't see that I was trapped in myself

I need my skin replaced

Don't let them tell you who you are

What's right, what's wrong, the world does not

Bow to the whim of those

Who cannot even think for themselves

This bridge between our souls has burned

It's not safe to walk on

This bridge has burned

It's not safe, it's not safe, it has burned

It's not safe to walk on

And I've been bitter for so many months

Watching the stars blink out, one by one

Clawing at my eyes, screaming at the sun

One day I swear I'll be loud enough

You'll never know your best days

Until they've come and gone

So dig yourself out from your hole in the floor

How many days have you just wished that you'd done more?
