[Verse 1]
I don't know where I'm goin, but I be goin' n***a
If that sh**'ll hold me back, then I don't show it n***a
And if you wondering what I'm talkin' bout, emotion n***a
Kinda like my foes above my friends- I keep em close, my n***a
Currently I'm writing this song inside of a notebook
That was given to me by a girl that almost f**in' broke my heart
Luckily for me, before I put it on my sleeve
I quickly snapped back to reality before sh** went too far
But even that sh** had shattered it wouldn't be her fault
And so the time I spent sorry for myself in the dark was short
But it's more painful when you know there was a spark for sure
And seeing each other often is getting awkward more
And so you let it go- it fades into the blackness
Of suppressed emotion that you'll never talk to again
So instead you just express it by forcing that sh** to talk to
The only thing you can trust, and let it out through the pen
But the pen isn't quite human . . maybe that's why I love it
Maybe that's why I grip it so tight like there's nothing other
Than that that can solve my problems, that that'll f**in' listen
To me when I've got nobody that's living that f**ing gets it
My resort to the intangible..
[Hook]
My resort to the intangible
My resort to the intangible, uh
My resort to the intangible
My resort to the intangible
My resort to the intangible, uh
My resort to the intangible
My resort to the intangible
[Verse 2]
Please don't mistake my realization for anger
Blame's a complicated thing upon which no one I'm placing
Tough to madden when I put myself inside of your sneakers
And I'm blind to things that usually, I'm seeing so clearly
Not to mention everything is just a little bit bleaker
And I'm not really the type to let anybody too close
Only close enough to make them think they're getting somewhere
Then literally or metaphorically, I'm up in smoke
I'm familiar with the tactic; fact is, I'm a master
Been there and done that around the block and doubled back, kid
Ain't a string attached to me that you could pull reactively
In hopes that I'll respond how Geppetto wants me to act, but see
You've got to free your mind - tell me that you're free as this
Tell me that you really don't give a f** about what they think
And that your worth isn't at least somewhat based on degrees
And completion of all the sh** that they really want you succeeding in
[Hook]
My resort to the intangible
My resort to the intangible, uh
My resort to the intangible
My resort to the intangible
My resort to the intangible, uh
My resort to the intangible
My resort to the intangible
