Worse Or Better

(Album: I'm A Stranger Here - 2013)

Lit like a candle and we burned so bright, gods showed their faces and we rolled the dice
Dove to the bottom, drank so deep, blood black water put us straight to sleep
We prayed for rain and we turned our eyes to the clouds
When the sun came out, man, we screamed out loud

Night becomes the dawn, we were so right, we were so wrong
Worse or better, looks like forever is not that long

The seeds that were planted grew over our heads, closed like a coffin to protect the dead
Struggled at the shackles, strained at the ropes, tried to untangle but there was no hope
Learning the steps made us weak instead of strong
Where wolves were many and the shadows long

We shall not part, so goes the song, we were so right, we were so wrong
Worse or better, looks like forever is not that long

Forgot the clock and the time flew past, blindfolded and chained to the mast
Flew like a rocket, dropped like a stone, digging in the ground for a stranger's bones
Delivered our lines but our voices went unheard until the truth became the devils word

We shall not part, so goes the song, they were so right, they were so wrong
Worse or better looks like forever has come and gone
