Necessary Evil
by Memphis May Fire

Album: Shapeshifter

Intro
(Necessary evil)

Verse 1
Back full of thorns in a bed full of roses
Take the pleasure with the pain, double doses
Stuck in a rage, can't escape the emotion
Can't escape the emotion
'Cause I try and I try but I lose every time
I try to change anything in the timeline
Life's a game only won in the mind's eye

Chorus
Looking for a way out but it's all just in vain
Time won't wait and there's no sequel
Waste away to thread the needle
Weighed down 'cause it all ends the same
Life is pain and love is lethal
It's all necessary evil

Verse 2
Control is an illusion
Get a grip and then you lose it
You can die from doom and gloomin'
Or embrace the grave and learn to use it
Back full of thorns in a bed full of roses
Take the pleasure with the pain, double doses
Stuck in a rage, can't escape the emotion
Bad turned to worse is the face of the omen
Bad turned to worse is the face of the omen, oh

Chorus
Looking for a way out but it's all just in vain
Time won't wait and there's no sequel
Waste away to thread the needle
Weighed down 'cause it all ends the same
Life is pain and love is lethal
It's all necessary evil

Breakdown
Bow your head to the balanced scale
No deliverance
All hail
All hail
(Face of the omen, omen)

Chorus
Looking for a way out but it's all just in vain
Time won't wait and there's no sequel
Waste away to thread the needle
Weighed down 'cause it all ends the same
Life is pain and love is lethal
It's all necessary evil
