lyrics

Need To Know

I’m not in search of some wise old teacher.
I’m only here cos I’m killing time.
I seek no proof of a life beyond this.
I place no faith in scripts and signs.

I broke my silence to pray for nothing.
There’s a joy in the gutter that was killing me.
Ten years on, I was still so hungry.
All your words were just chicken feed.

Oh, no. You’re not someone I need to know.

You seem to want something more from me.
These pockets are ragged.
You dug too deep.
You claim to feel in ways I can’t imagine.
Does that make you bigger than me?

A shallow soul has a weight to break you.
I ought to know and I feel your pain.
I won’t pretend this could bring us closer.
I don’t intend to go there again.

Oh, no. You’re not someone I need to know.

J E Harrison
