The Truth - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

It's 3 AM, it's cold outside, and you can't sleep

Is it from your conscience talking, to the skeletons you keep?

Every time you try to speak, only craziness comes out

But she can't turn the other cheek, and you can't help how it comes out

So when did you decide

To embrace what you hate to survive?

'Cause that's not what got us here

It's 8 AM and still no sleep, but you don't care

I don't know why I keep on calling, doesn't get us anywhere

'Cause every time I try to speak, you never let my words come out

I can't turn the other cheek, and I can't help how this comes out

So when did you decide

To embrace what you hate to survive?

'Cause that's not what got us here

Honestly

I don't know how you could see

Something you once saw in me

Just another volunteer

To wonder if you ever lie awake in bed

And think about the things you said

Your dedication shows

But you can't see, your eyes are closed

And all the promises you made to me

They seem to fade and leave me

With this disappointment

That these words could never show

When your ride is over

And you're hanging by a thread

As your house of cards is falling

Just remember what I said

So when did you decide

To embrace what you hate to survive?

'Cause that's not what got us here

And honestly

I don't know how you could see

Something you once saw in me

Just another volunteer

For you to bleed
