Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

Ill with Want

I am sick with wanting and it's evil and it's daunting

How I let everything I cherish lay to waste

I am lost in greed, this time it's definitely me

I point fingers but there's no one there to blame

A need for something, now let me break it down again

A need for something but not more medicine

I am sick of wanting and it's evil how it's got me

And every day is worse than the one before

The more I have the more I think I'm almost where I need to be

If only I could get a little more

A need for something, now let me break it down again

A need for something but not more medicine

Something has me, oh something has me

Acting like someone I don't wanna be

Something has me, oh something has me

Acting like someone I know isn't me

Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed

Temporary is my time, ain't nothing on this world that's mine

Except the will I found to carry on

Free is not your right to chose

It's answering what's asked of you

To give the love you find until it's gone

A need for something, now let me break it down again

A need for something but not more medicine

Something has me, oh something has me

Acting like someone I don't wanna be

Something has me, oh something has me

Acting like someone I know isn't me

Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed

Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed

Ill with want and poisoned by this ugly greed
