Who Needs Air (Demo) - The Classic Crime

Who Needs Air (Demo) Lyrics

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 plansAnd 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 moreI'm drowning but I don't care
Because when you got what I got, what I got
Who needs air? I don't need airMy addiction too 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, look away as I dive into the swellI'm drowning but I don't care
Because 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 disguiseI'm drowning but I don't care
Because when you got what I got, what I got

Who needs air?I'm drowning
(I have come to the realization that)
But I don't care
(Life is more than what I have accomplished and)Because when you got what I got, what I got
(Life is more then the realization that)
Who needs air?
(We have accomplished nothing at all)I'm drowning
(True success is so selfless so drown in the)
But I don't care
(Lyrics of your life and give up the air that you breathe)Because when you got what I got, what I got
(You don't need anything)
I don't need air
(You don't need anything)I don't need air
