lyrics
A complicated life of tangled lies
Takes over and pleas for a drive
A disabled cry remains inside
To burn itself out or blow you away
Thus, the drugs supply a mask
Lift me up to the task
The pressured morning binge
Procrastination is the actual sin
And the memories foster
Standard for the present terror
Prescriptions allowed to lapse
Leading a noon day frenzy
Destroy the self perhaps?
(And outspent wealth castaway)
Needs must when the devil drives
Needs must when the devil drives
With complicated strife
A life that failed to advise
Takes over and pleas for a ride
My paralyzed song remains inside
To burn itself out and whirl you away
But the drug supplies a task
Pushing me up in the mask
That hurried morning binge
Suspended hesitation
Always seems to win
Memories foster
Standard for the present terror
Prescriptions allowed to lapse
Leading a noon day frenzy
Destroy yourself perhaps?
And outspent wealth castaway
Needs must when the devil drives
Voices from the inside
Wild thinking execrates the hate
I debate each passing second
And my eyes scan the sky
For a world about to fall
Needs must when the devil drives
Needs must when the devil drives
Needs must when the devil drives
Needs must when the devil drives
