Constrictor - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean

When you talk about the ends without a mention of the means

And I know exactly who you think that you are

But do you know how to hide when you finally get too far?

[Pre-Chorus]

And honestly it gets imposing

When you're crawling underneath everyone's preferences

Every couple weeks

Show the better side of yourself

And promise me

[Chorus]

But does a promise still hold weight if you

Keep collecting your injustices, discontinue

Your fidelity falling onto the avenue

I think I'm getting desperate for changes in the tints and hues

[Bridge]

Talk through the plywood and I'll answer in knocks

Please just break all the locks

[Verse 2]

And I just wish you'd give it all up intentionally

Ignoring every rumor I've dispelled in the weeds

Except the reciprocity it took to untangle

The synonyms of acceptance only shown at an angle

Give it time, they say

Fighting all of it off

With repetitions of phrases just to cut a loss

But how could I say what clearly isn't enough

[Bridge]

And how will you find your confirmation

Through all the needles in the pile

It's getting too close to condemnation

To feel the cracks between the tile

But is it wasted if I tried?

To show them every reason why

It's destined for a final course of action
