Freefall - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Detox from the deep talks

Ain’t escaping from these thoughts

I’m not one to take cheap shots

But you made a note of my weak spots

Nothing of substance, you are too vapid

And I am convinced the fall will be so rapid

Live by materialism, no purpose

To keep up here, she go missing, won’t surface

No shoulder to rest on, you need it most

Felt I had the right for me to ghost

You can take that much but when I ain’t give

There’s an altered tone and conduct’s abrasive

Consequences reverbеrate

Will complete what I want by a cеrtain date

Cause I breathe to write or I write to breathe?

I won’t be able to when I’m assigned beneath

[Chorus]

When I’m an old and decrepit soul

Will you be there in time to watch the credits roll?

You skipped the previews and stole a seat

Cause there’s not that much use in controlling me

And if you blink, you could miss it

I’m put on the spot in an awkward position

It’s brave, brave of you to solicit

Cause I’d take the fall but I don’t fit the description

Spiraling downward, trajectory detoured

Precisely you’ll ad-lib a nosedive in free form

Self-medicate, how to handle the pain?

Won’t learn a bit, no you’ll gamble the same

[Verse 2]

24, but I’m falling short

What is it that I’m stalling for?

People dropping like a college course

They’re coming going like revolving doors

Shift subtle tones but you loathe that trait

Got a blocked frontal lobe, better hold that weight

When you’re dropped like a rock by the powers that be

You ain’t stopping the shock you’ll encounter and see

Given a minute, collecting your bearings

That’s some kind of kindness to grant the forbearance

But you’re an accomplice, your network clandestine

You’ll patch up the wounds that the shrapnel was left in

Covering up the carburetor

Fulton Street, no parking paid for

Downtown been a whole mess

I’ll take the backroads, yeah my path is safer
