Our New Intelligence - River City Extension

Stolen Aphrodite, beautiful and mighty

Act like you can find me tucked beneath a vine leaf

Try to keep my head down,

Try to keep my mouth shut

You do not exist; you are a product of my loneliness

Never let you in, I’ll never let you find me

Butcher what you do have, put your past behind me

I am not afraid and will not buckle under ignorance

And you could find a purpose, while I fumbled for deliverance

I’m happy but I wouldn’t, put it past our new intelligence

So we swam to the bottom of the sea

Found faith and a little bit of sanity

Oh some peace and quiet may be what I need

It’ll be a lot better if you’re honest with me

The way I think that I should get away sometimes the

Way I wish that you would try and compromise (2x)

And every single time I think I’ll keep my cool

I catch my other body making eyes at you

And instincts are deceiving, do you trust me to run away?

Run away?

Run away

Because you were never anything I thought I’d want

I’ve been trying for a while and this thing I got

Left me rambling and stumbling over what I say

And I say, and I say, and I say

Run away, run away, run away

Stolen Aphrodite, beautiful and mighty

Act like you can find me tucked beneath a vine leaf

This was never anything I wanted you to suffer for

Despite how much I love my home

I find I’m missing Baltimore

Tied and gagged and bound to soil

I will taste forever more
