I Don't Need

I don't need me saved
Your my savior from over there
Fucked up minds
Building stairs
Tucked me in
B'fore I woke up here

Put out my fire
Set up my ego
I got nothin' but know how to listen
Burned up desire
Buried their heroes
Come to this by their time for killing

He don't need me strong
So you said what I meant all along
Wanderin' here
Broke in thing
Thinking words
I don't know how to scream

Carry our fire
Give up our egos
We got nothing and know how to listen
Burn up desire
Set free a hero
Come to this by our time for filling

    Companion piece:

    Jimmy

    Little girl
    Bout the happy age of four
    When he looked at her
    That way
    Doesn't know me now
    Never did
    But I think of him
    From time to time

    Where are you?
    Where are you now?

    You ugly fucker
    No wonder you
    No wonder you wanted me
    A young shamefully hungry
    No wonder you
    No wonder you wanted

    Little girl
    Dreamed to be a ballerina
    And dance her way
    Out of the room
    Or cling high to a fairy's wings
    Flying somewhere in the night

    Where are you?
    Where are you now?

    *This is an old one that came up. I think there's another verse but I don't really want to go looking for it. I don't even think about it anymore. But that's the day I taught myself to fly/escape.
