Common Enemies - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

What makes you so much better than me?

Constantly judged for what I've grown to be

You find a reason to stand on your own feet and turned yourself to a fucking black sheep

I really cannot believe it

No rhyme or reason, no method to fight this

Identity crisis

Get a grip, living so lifeless

Wake the fuck up

[Refrain]

This is not the, the American dream

[Verse 2]

I try my best to cut the bullshit out of my life and all you do is push me farther and farther down

What will you do when you're left out to dry?

Standing above you, I'll make sure you know

[Breakdown]

Why I can't take this shit anymore

I'm so sick of it

Rah

[Bridge]

Underneath your calm exposure is a pitiless fuck just waiting and begging for attention

You know you're full of shit and don't fucking forget it

There is no heaven above, you're not a victim of fate

And every day's a new step closer to a foot in the grave

No hell beneath your feet, you just end up in the dirt

With no purpose, but to end up six feet deep in the earth

Human nature, no complexity

Forget about it; your time is up

Heart of stone, cold to the touch

[Refrain]

This is not the American dream

[Breakdown]

One more step forward and two steps back

Three chances you threw away

Now you won't get them back

Fuck it all

No remorse

Just let yourself go

Let your shitty life take course

Fuck it all

I fucking hate this nonsense

Waste of life

You'll find your consequence

[Verse 3]

I don't understand who you think you are, but you aren't shit to me

You don't hold a place in anyone's heart

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

How many years?

How many years did you waste looking for false friends and material possessions?

Goddamn it, no point in my confessing

What the fuck?

[Breakdown]

Feed your bones to the wolves of these social norms

Drain your blood in the pool of society

Peel back your skin calloused by the American dream

You spent your whole life pretending

You don't know the difference
