Kill The Rat - Intellectual

[Refrain]

Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat

[Verse 1]

My spit is thick and full of garbage

It hangs in puddles like drowned worms

The morning after storms

Your perspective is subjective

So you think it's all connected

They charge you for the poison

Then they charge you for the cure

[Refrain]

Kill the rat, eat the cow, feed the cat

[Pre-Chorus]

Now you can run, and you can hide

But the call is coming from inside

You live your life along the line

Or argue on until we die

And all the words and all the songs

And all the times you sang along

All the symbols have been drawn

But the meaning's gone

[Chorus]

And on your smile, and on your heart

We’re not so lonely, lonely, lonely lonely

And on the way we've come apart

You think you know, you don't know, no, no

Rearrange the numbers and the letters

We are alone in this together

Forgetting ourselves with each other

We are alone in this together

[Bridge]

Time will only wait for so long

And all the things you made will be gone

[Pre-Chorus]

It's closer now

I'm older now

But it just keeps on goin' round

It knocks me over, slows me down

But I can't let it hold me down

Well, with all the words, and all the songs

And all the times you sang it wrong

All the halos and the horns

But the meaning's gone

[Chorus]

And all your smiles, and all your hearts

We’re not so lonely, lonely, lonely lonely

And on the way we've come apart

You think you know, you don't know, you know, you know

Rearrange the numbers and the letters

We are alone in this together

Forgetting ourselves with each other

We are alone in this together

[Outro]

Time will only wait for so long

And all the things you made will be gone

[Post-Song]
