The Cure - Intellectual

[Intro: Nick Detty]

I can taste the misery

Spitting out the remedy

All I've been through, all that I've seen

These eyes, this heart still can't dispel the lies

I don't know if I can feel it

Floating downward, fading slowly

Static message, cryptic signals

Cataracts can't see things clearly

Divide the cure from the poison and misery

Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me

Take it all as I stumble and lose control

I was chasing nothing

Take it all, all the torment inside my soul

Watch it fade to nothing

(Fade to nothing, fade to nothing

Fade to nothing, fade to nothing)

Scales begin to fall from my eyes

Floating downward, fading slowly

Vibrant message, glaring signals

Brilliant light shines piercing through me

Divide the cure from the poison and misery

Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me

Divide the cure from the poison and misery

Sever the ties that enslave and are killing me, oh

Sever the ties that have filled me with doubt

Wring out this heart, make it bleed out the curse that's plaguing my eyes

Gasping to catch my breath, I feel the poison dissolving

Filled with the remedy I once cast aside

[Chorus: Steve Cobucci & Nick Detty]

Take it all as I stumble and lose control

I was chasing nothing

Take it all, all the torment inside my soul

Watch it fade to nothing

(Fade to nothing, fade to nothing

Watch it fade to nothing)

Chasing nothing, oh

Filled with the remedy, I'm gaining clarity

Oh God, destroy what poisons me

Destroy what poisons me
