The Other Half - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

We believe in a system that has long been broken

We turn the other cheek without a glimpse of emotion

Always looking out for number one

Why do you need more while others have none?

Measure my worth by what I’ve done, not what I’ve become

I spanned the oceans, I’ve seen the skies

That’s all I’m ever gonna need to get by

My favorite things in life, aren’t even things at all

Nothing that drives my soul is even tangible

Just because you want, doesn’t mean that you need

We’ve come so far from the lives that we’re meant to live

But there’s so much more that I have left to give

We always borrow time that can’t be given back (can’t be given back)

We let it slip away and never pick up the slack

I spanned the oceans, I’ve seen the skies

That’s all I’m ever gonna need to get by

My favorite things in life, aren’t even things at all

Nothing that drives my soul is even tangible

Just because you want, doesn’t mean that you need

Force fed and misled, now we hang by a thread

Force fed and misled

But not me, I see red

(You need to hear this)

Measure my worth by what I’ve done, not what I’ve become

(Are you listening?)

Measure my worth by what I’ve done, not what I’ve become

I spanned the oceans, I’ve seen the skies

That’s all I’m ever gonna need to get by

My favorite things in life, aren’t even things at all

But they’re the things that keep my heart full

They keep my heart full

I spanned the oceans, I’ve seen the skies

That’s all I’m ever gonna need to get by

My favorite things in life, aren’t even things at all

But they’re the things that keep my heart full
