Inflorescence - Intellectual

[Intro]

I rejected the world, the way that it wants me to be

I think I'd rather go struggle and suffer than tie myself onto that leash

Armed with my teeth (Armed with my teeth)

There's no rest for me

No ego death, no epiphany

I read all the books, I took all the pills

Spent years being “normal” and found myself still

Drowning in debt, buried in bills

All of it meaningless, nothing so real

I pull on a string I can't define

It keeps on going and going

A pool of light collected by my eyеs

Assigns a relative meaning

To you, to mе

To eight billion souls bonded in misery

Ascending the mountain (Ascending the mountain)

But they're all still shouting

No ego death, no epiphany

Burn my money, surrender control

For twenty minutes, throwing-up my soul

In some dank dungeon where the walls are wet, and cold

Watch closely as I ruin my life

My blood and my body for you, sacrificed

An ephemeral moment, cast out into the night

Burn my money, surrender control

Take what you need, forget what you don't

You're going to find out quick whether you're the hammer or stone

Dance for me, keeping rhythm and time

Your blood on the alter, your name on the line

To buy your long odds at creating something sublime

Everything's temporary

Everything, everything

I think you probably relate

Staring down another day

It's coming at you like a train

But you still can't shake there's

No ego death, no epiphany (No epiphany)
