At the Denver show on May 24, 2016, Andrew performed this song with additional lyrics.
He introduced the song by saying:
“When the record was done, and there was no turning back, I finally figured out how to write this song. You might notice that it sounds a little incomplete on the record… so this is the full version.”
Now I found someone who can slake my thirst in a land beset by drought
Feeds my hungry heart when the fields lie fallow
Now I find myself always on the ins and never on the outs
Who guides my lonely ships on through the shallows
Oh, I’m gonna shake you
Yeah, ’til I wake you
From your waking dream, I’ll show you distressing scenes, of life beyond your front door
Oh, I wanna wake you,
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
And I will hold you hostage, make you part of my conspiracy
You will be witness to carnage, you know there’s no you without me
There’s no you without me
There’s no you without me
There’s no you
There’s no you
There’s no you without me
Oh, I will exploit you
Yeah, and conscript you
For my narrative schemes
I’ll show you distressing scenes
I wanna drag you from your bed onto the floor
I’m gonna shake you, wake you,
Oh, by any means necessary
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
I’m gonna dig up what you buried
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
By any means necessary
Oh, by any means necessary
Oh, I think I’ve found someone
