Crowbar - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I left your heart of glass in my unmade bed

In the right time, you could shine so bright in my doubtful eyes

And I imprint all your ideas on mine

I move awkwardly at the speed of light

Maybe it's easier to be afraid

Drenched in tragedy, man-made

And my compass is an antique

But if I'm not back soon

Don't come looking for me

You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic

Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic

A paradox poetic, you get choked up reading the classics

Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite, a stupid question, I'd rather not ask it

I take a sip of something I can barely taste

Dull as dusk, with a skull and crossbones to bring us luck

And I, I know that you can't read my mind

I swear I said the same thing a hundred times

Maybe it's harder than it should be

Variations on a theme

I could wear it right on my sleeve

When an antagonist emerges, don't blame me

You can take it pretty far on a prayer that's pale and synthetic

Bending my crowbar with tension that's telekinetic

A paradox poetic, you get choked up reading the classics

Your pride'll take a gluttonous bite, a stupid question, I'd rather not ask it

A stupid question, I'd rather not ask it
