All I Need


All I need is this brain in my head
and although my mind ravaged by disease
it's gotten me this far.
So even on those nights
where I damn my every thought to hell
on those nights where
I swear I won't make it to the morning light
I would not and could not live without it
because I've known a life of being numb
and I'd rather feel everything at once
than feel nothing at all.
