Memphis May Fire Wanting More song lyrics

I want it, I got it. It's like I just can't get enough

I see it, I need it. More of whatever keeps me numb

I feel it consuming but I'll ignore that till I die

I want what they have and I won't stop until it's mine

I fear myself becoming calloused and unable to feel

Greed takes over!

I lose control and question what is real

I want more than I need, the American dream

Take and take until I have everything

Now I'm covered in greed and the reflection I see doesn't look like the man I want to be

I spent my life chasing after things that I fought for and now I'm torn

Because none of it has ever satisfied my soul

It just leaves me wanting more

I know that it's wrong but it feels so right

I can't deny!

I'm losing this war with my self-indulgent life

What if I gave it all away, and shed the layers of the selfishness I hate?

I want to be free but I'm so afraid that I am too far gone and I'm stuck with all the choices I have made

There has to be more to life because I got it all, and never got it right

There's got to be more than this

Tell me there is something that I missed

I spent my life chasing after things that I fought for and now I'm torn, because none of it has ever satisfied my soul

It just leaves me wanting more

I gave myself to things I thought I loved but they never gave me enough

Now I'm right back where I started from

I'm so sick of wanting more

I'm so sick of wanting more!

Want and want and want until we want to die because we never find what we're looking for

What are we looking for?

Consume, consume, consume until it consumes us

Want and want and want

When will it stop?

I spent my life chasing after things that I fought for and now I'm torn, because none of it has ever satisfied my soul

It just leaves me wanting more

I gave myself to things I thought I loved but they never gave me enough

Now I'm right back where I started from

I'm so sick of wanting more
