Shadowboxing - Intellectual

[Chorus]

There's no pride when there's greed

Vivid dreams, wake up sweat covered sheets

I wanna go back to sleep

Haunted dreams, lucid themes, chase me down the street

Wake up to need, the money and the greed

The stress inside the streets, anxiety it creeps

Cripples through the feet

It's me against me

Shadowboxing with myself again, my endless friend

Another night, my best fiend worst enemy in my bеd

Should I drench myself in sweat or should I writе instead?

Sweaty sheets and nightmares, fuck it, yeah, I'm back again

I've been on fifteen different meds since the mess happened

But the meds I really take were never prescription

Tried to stop a couple times but it comes back again

Pictures come up in my head, I can't be left with them

Tried to block out what I've seen and see the joy in it

It's all a game, Lean, remember what you always said

The same words I hear you said, it's all in my head

Was it a fight against time or was it predestined?

I guess I'll really never know and should I leave it there?

I can't prepare for what comes next but, yeah, I see it clear

Vivid castles, living easy, breathe the coldest air

I gotta slow it down, like the turtle beats the hare
