Risin’ Above The Need

Dressed up loud Acting like the 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 pretences 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
