Who Needs Air

(albüm: Albatross - 2006)

I long to taste adventure like the nature of the sea
Always moving, always hiding all the creatures from beneath
Singing silent songs of sadness my heart waits for its chance
To dance upon the ashes of my burned up little plans

And I stand alone before the night
My nakedness is so clear in the glow of the moonlight
Life is old but so short
We are young, we want more

I'm drowning, but I don't care
'Cause when you got what I got, what I got
Who needs air?
I don't need air

My addiction to danger like the rush of the sea
Like a wave on the rocks the lessons crash down on me
I don't need to prove the world to you only to myself
So step back and look away as I dive into the swell

I'm drowning, but I don't care
'Cause when you got what I got, what I got
Who needs air?

So take me down to the river like a little child
And take my hand and tell me it's okay to be wild
I never knew the world until I saw through your eyes
I never knew myself until I ripped off my disguise
(I ripped off my disguise)

I'm drowning, but I don't care
'Cause when you got what I got, what I got
Who needs air?

I'm drowning, but I don't care
'Cause when you got what I got, what I got
Who needs air?
(I have come to the realization that life is more than what I have accomplished
And life is more then the realization that we have accomplished nothing at all)

I'm drowning, but I don't care
'Cause when you got what I got, what I got
I don't need air
(True success is so selfless so drown in the lyrics
Of your life and give up the air that you breathe
You don't need anything. You don't need anything)

I don't need air
