The Only Necessary Thing
I feel invisible
Feel like I'm drowning in blue light
Need something visceral
I'm in a trance standing in line
For all the things I'm told i need
To do what's expected of me
If we need one thing alone we
Need the only necessary thing
I am broken and lonely
Without the only necessary thing
It's inexplicable
How often I decline what's free
Endlessly divisible
Increasing paradoxically
Like the magic penny in that children's song
Give it away and it goes on and on
If we need one thing alone we
Need the only necessary thing
I am broken and lonely
Without the only necessary thing
In all of this greed its the thing that we need
It's the thing that we're for
We got so broken, it's more than a token of mutual self-need
I'm at a loss and fatigued
If we need one thing alone we
Need the only necessary thing
I am broken and lonely
Without the only necessary thing
If we need one thing alone we
Need the only necessary thing
I am broken and lonely
Without the only necessary thing
That thing
That thing
The only necessary thing
