Casualties of the Times: What You Need

What You Need


Painted in a corner
Well acquainted with the coroner
Coming back
Coming back’s one perspective on dying
Trying to put it all together
Could our pieces come together?
In a pretty dream
Then there’s that thing about dreaming dreams

(Chorus)
You said to me:
I don’t want to be the one who won’t do what she needs…
You said to me:
I don’t want to be the one who won’t do what she needs… to do

Paying the piper
Wreathing ribbons with the vipers
Victimizing every gesture you’ve received
Innocence comes – riving it’s gone
You wanted more but you took so long
His pillow talk becomes suffocating
Start to get a little closer now
Should cut him loose before he drags you out
There’s nothing worse than really being seen

(Chorus)

Start to get a little closer now
Should cut him loose before he drags you out
There’s nothing worse than really being seen

Painted in a corner
Well acquainted with the coroner
Coming back
Coming back’s one perspective on dying
Trying to put it all together
Could our pieces come together?
In a pretty dream
Then there’s that thing about dreaming dreams

(Chorus)
