Risin' Above The Need

  • Dressed up loud
    Acting like a bullet in a gun
    Look at me
    Look at me
    I'm no one
    I'm at the back of my mind
    I'm on the tip of my tongue
    I'm searching in the mirror
    For who I have become

    Stripped of my addictions and deceit
    I'm feeling somewhat incomplete
    Y'see, too much was never enough for me
    All high sensation with low emotion
    Experimentation with no devotion

    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need

    We can live our lives under false pretenses
    We can deny reality but not its consequences
    That thin line between satisfaction and greed
    When what we want ain't really what we need

    Doing all the wrong things for all the right reasons
    Every last trick to cast out the demons
    But all good things will come through the door
    To those who do not even want them anymore

    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need
    I'm risin' above the need Writer/s: Matt Johnson
