Don’t Get Close - Intellectual

[Intro]

Come on!

[Verse 1]

Somebody, give me some light

Not pointed into dark

Somebody, show me the end

And I try to push to start

I'm trying to figure out a better way, a better answer

But I keep finding all the problems I've been looking after

You can't wander through the world with nothing but a smile

I'll take a turn for worse and use it to instill denial

[Chorus]

Don't get close

You don't know me and you'll never know

Chivalry will get you somewhere

Rivalry will take you there

Don't get close

You don't know me and you'll never know

Chivalry will get you somewhere

Rivalry will take you there

[Verse 2]

Maybe I should look away before I really miss

Maybe I should pick the time before I pick the place

I bet you all the things that you emulate, you penalize

But I don't wanna go until you learn to finalize

[Chorus]

Don't get close

You don't know me and you'll never know

Chivalry will get you somewhere

Rivalry will take you there

Don't get close

You don't know me and you'll never know

Chivalry will get you somewhere

Rivalry!

[Verse 3]

You ascertain the plot, my vision's overshot

I have the best confessions, I was gone for all the lessons

Who coined these words I use? Stay out and be abused

I didn't want to be the undeniable source of everything

[Refrain]

Don't get close

Don't get close (You'd better stay away)

Don't get close (You'd better stay away!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Waiting, watching all the conflicts

Constrict, just to fit in, squeeze in

I can insist claws and fist

Remember, remember

[Verse 4]

You take the reverent and never make much sense

I have the worst possession, what I want but so obsessive

Come out and be abused 'cause this is so confused

I only want to be left alone and rot away

[Refrain]

Don't get close

Don't get close (You'd better stay away)

Don't get close (You'd better stay away!)

Yeah!
