Need Not Be by Prophetic Submission Written by Andrew Lobo Copyright 7/18/2004 Lyrics Verse I In life we are born into expectation Expected to be what we cannot be Put on a pedestal, supposed to do What are our predecessors couldn't get to If we do not fulfill we've none but failed Tormented and ripped, branded a loss Left on an island, alone with our thoughts Presiding over a path that is bare Chorus Need not be what you want Need not be what you need I must be what I want To be alive Need not see what you think Need not be what you say I must be what is me To live my life Verse II When you are pressured to be what you can't You rebel and reform in ways that are ***ed You fall in a pit so deep, dying inside Mentally melting, impossoble to hide You seek alternatives to kill off your throes Ultimately to find you've destroyed your soul Life is a battle, a struggle at least Fight the entrapment of tantalizing beasts Final Verse Face the facts, we can't become What you had wanted to be Accept the ways we want to be Leave your worries, release Tempo-180 bpm 16th notes Intro Riff A x6 F----------------------------- ------------------------ C----------------------------- ---6--6/7--6--9--7--6--- G---11----------11------------ ---4--4/5--4--7--5--4--- D----9-----------9------------ ------------------------ A------77777777----77777777--- ------------------------ PM ........ ........
