Get What I Need

It was years ago since we smashed the window
Of that northern California house
A safety pin in my ear on Cayton’s bike
Playing Bad Brains fuckin' loud
Smoking weed on the streets in the California heat
Spray paint on the walls
Stealing food, cracked a tooth, we had nothing else to lose
Getting wasted to twist and crawl
Someday you’ll find everything will be alright
I lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Someday you’ll see everything I left behind
I lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Lost myself just to get
To get what I need
To get what I need
Fade away in my head again
Watch the days, the months, the years turn to rust
Skies are gray, will I be okay?
Watch the memories I made turn to dust
Someday you’ll find everything will be alright
I lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Someday you’ll see everything I left behind
I lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Lost myself just to get
To get what I need
Sometimes to get what I want, don’t get what I need
To get what I want I don’t get what I need
To get what I want, don’t get what I need
To get what I want I don’t get what I need
Someday you’ll find everything will be alright
I lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Someday you’ll see everything I left behind
I lost myself just to get what I wanted then
Lost myself just to get
To get what I need
To get what I need
To get what I need
To get what I need
To get what I need
