All I Need To Get By

(album: Extinction Ballads - 2021)

The needle in the thread
The live amongst the dead
The twitch upon my mother's tongue
The night before the day
The needle in the hay
The guilt for all that I have done

A reason to believe
A reason to deceive
A reason to get out of bed
The horror in my heart
The water in my lungs
The voices inside my head

Are all I need to get by
On the brighter side I found
All that I need to get by
On the brighter side I know when I'm dry
Another dimension to grab our attention
I need to get out
Know what you are
Now that you mention I have no incentive
To figure it out
Know your revolution

The needle in the eye
The darkness in the sky
The worst is still yet to come
The pleasure over pain
The needle in the vein
The wrench in the works of it all

A reason to wake up
A reason to get fucked
A reason to throw it away
The moments I missed
The biting of lips
The words that I have yet to say

Are all I need to get by
On the brighter side I found
All that I need to get by
On the brighter side I know when I'm dry
Another dimension to grab our attention
I need to get out
Know what you are
Now that you mention I have no incentive
To figure it out
Know your revolution
