Hand Grenade - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Mark Hockings]

I tried to make a start

I tried to take apart

The violence that was growing through the anger in your heart

You wanted to be true

I wanted to be you

I ended up believing there´s too many shades of blue

I made my choice to run

But I didn´t hear the gun

And I finished up conceeding life is better in the sun

It´s just better in the sun

You just knew I was running blind

[Chorus: Mark Hockings] (2x)

I'm tired, you´re bored

I don´t want to do this dance anymore

You´re a hand grenade, you´re night shade

I don´t need to hold my neck to your knife blade

I wanted to be strong

I wanted to belong

You wanted to smash up the place ´til everything was gone

I needed someone kind

To mend the fragile mind

You wanted to pick up the pace you knew I'm running blind

I waited to the end

To see if it would mend

I ended up believing that we are what we defend

We are what we defend

You just knew I was running blind

[Chorus: Mark Hockings] (2x)

There´s nothing left to say

There´s nothing more to take away

You pulled the pin

You took the win

And when you turn on me

And you will

A broken shell of me you kill

I never deserved this

I'm tired, you´re bored

I don´t want to do this dance anymore

You´re a hand grenade, you´re night shade

I don´t need to hold my neck to your knife blade

[Chorus: Mark Hockings] (2x)

I'm tired, you´re bored
