about

Mike Reidy and I had already spoken about collaborating when I wrote this track for a man's voice, so I was excited to send it along to him.

When I received the track back with his vocals and guitar, it was clear to me that it had been transformed into exactly the track I had hoped, with fire, with intention, a truly fierce duet.

lyrics

Necessary

Pull me down and under
Feel the weight some crashing down
Well it won't be much longer now
until we have it all figured

So don't ask me no questions
and I won’t tell you no lies
and your secrets I won't ever tell
But when i said run you were second guessin when you should have run to save yourself

This is necessary
and I'm sorry but there’s no other way
and there's nothing more that we have to say
every day apart is gonna be hell
it’s a shame you did this to yourself

and as the years pass by like days
just over the shoulder
rivers and oceans of tears
leave a barren wasteland
and all thoughts and fears were only illusions
after a lifetime I'm finally seeing
that you were never enough for me

Tell me now or never
while the hands of time are winding out
though it won't be much longer now
I have a feeling it’s the final countdown (10....1)
so don't ask what you don't want to know
and you can hide behind the pieces of your shattered ego

but when I said run you were second guessin when you should have run to save yourself

This is necessary
and I'm sorry but there's no other way
and there's nothing more that we have to say
every day apart is gonna be hell
It’s a shame you did this to yourself

and as the years pass by like days
just over the shoulder
rivers and oceans of tears
leave a barren wasteland
and all thoughts and fears were only illusions
after a lifetime I'm finally seeing
that you were never enough for me
