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
