Chasing Shadows - Intellectual

[Intro]

In my sleep I picture me with kerosene to light this bitch up

And I see no way to contemplate a better way

What's the point in hidin'?

I'm so disappointed I can't take control of it (Control of it)

Exposing it (Exposing it)

Pushed me past the breaking point

It's something we just can't avoid, I'm over it (I'm over it)

When the closure hits (Closure hits)

In my sleep I picture me with kerosene to light this bitch up

And I see no way to contemplate a better way

And as I'm waiting

All of my memories are fading

I can't remember

I'm chasing shadows that tear me apart

Don't let 'еm take me away

Even whеn I got the lights off

I can't escape from the shadows that I saw

I didn't mean to believe in 'em

I thought I'd get away, but the time's wrong

Stuck in this cycle

Look in the mirror, I see the shit clearer behind me

Thought that I might be over this shit

But despite me thinkin' it, pain sinkin' in, and then it's likely over

Over my shoulder, my demons keep sinkin' their teeth in

It's keepin' me dreamin' of workin' this shit out

It's hard to keep breathin', it's time that I sit down

I reach for the ceiling and burn this whole shit down

You motherfuckers better listen up

Give it up, thinkin' I give a fuck

I will keep chasin' my past if it isn't stuck

Burnin' myself to the ground, and I wish it luck

And as I'm waiting

All of my memories are fading

I can't remember

I'm chasing shadows that tear me apart

And when I see my world crashing down

I will realize nothing has changed

And I need my shadows that tear me apart

Don't let 'em take me away
