"intellectual greed" lyrics

I am using my imagination

I wanted strength, I wanted luck
I wanted money and fame
I wanted everyone to love me and be under my reign
And when an arrow dipped in poison hit the path that I'd take
I knew I never had a choice and it was all up to fate

To pay the cost to chase a dream
I started starin' at a screen
Now I know everything, boy, I know everything
And now I'm tearin' at the seams
And only God can hear my screams
'Cause I know everything, boy, I know everything

Oh, how I'm learnin' like a fool, I'm always uppin' the pace
I said, we're chasin' somethin' beautiful or get out my way (Me)
Through all the power trips, the cowardice, the pleasure, and pain
I found that me, God, and the devil are all one and the same

I've met my end (You're a monster)
You told me from the start
I'm making evil art (Yeah)

Why you actin' like you my friend? You know nothin' about me
I'm ready to ascend, you could double the bounty
Motherfuckers all pretend, but the data don't doubt me
I'm stickin' to the plan, bitch, I'm movin' devoutly
I've already found me, you all love to waste time
I'm hearin' it loudly, climbing up the grapevine
I'm up in the canopy, way above the baseline
Invert the polarity, put a hole in spacetime

To pay the cost of my regime
I started starin' at a screen
Now I know everything (King), boy, I know everything
And now I'm tearin' at the seams
And only God can hear my screams
'Cause I know everything, boy, I know everything

(Yo, back it up, fuck)

I got everything I wanted, everything, everything I wanted (The ritual is now complete)
I got everything I wanted, everything, everything I wanted
(Ooh, oh, oh)
I got everything I wanted, everything, everything I wanted
I got everything I wanted, everything, everything I wanted (A noble sacrifice)
Open your eyes
Open your eyes, just breathe
Breathe, don't look up
I don't wanna lose you
Stop, talk to me
