Missive - Intellectual

I've always feared the forest

I've always feared the trees

I felt the burden of life

Drain my very being

This substance that kept my mind constantly adrift

Never having to battle the giants in my midst

I'm sorry you had to look up to me

I'm sorry I let you down

I could have been a better man

I'm sorry isn't good enough this time

I'm sorry just won't do

I'm sorry is just a part of the excuse

Of why I wasn't there for you

I'm far beneath the depths under a mountain of pills

I'm so proud of the man you've become yеt and still

I always gave that snake oil-selling grin

To try and push that I was morе

Then the man I really was

I couldn't let life take hold

I wouldn't let that sink in

I couldn't fight the battle

So by default, my demons win

Ahhhhhh

By default, my demons win

Ahhhhhh

I'm sorry isn't good enough this time

I'm sorry just won't do

I'm sorry is just a part of the excuse

Of why I wasn't there for you

You watched me bury myself

While I was slipping away

You watched me bury myself

While I was slipping away

Time makes fools of us all

Our only comfort is that greater

Will come after us

There's no more room for apologies

I'm sorry isn't good enough this time

I'm sorry just won't do

I'm sorry is just a part of the excuse

Of why I wasn't there for you

(Wasn't there for you)

Of why I wasn't there for you

(Wasn't there for you)

I'm sorry
