The The - Risin' Above The Need Lyrics
Official




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
