Better

(album: Retrograde - 2019)

Looking in the mirror, covers up her face
Wishing she could take someone else's place
Hoping everyone could see her for her inner beauty
'Cause when she's feeling like there's no more rain
All the skies in her world turn gray
Always looking for the next escape from it

Think back, you were standing right there
Never saw it coming, yeah
And fight back, even though you hate that
Caught up in the moment
But the moment's over

We've all got issues
But we cut from the same cloth
They bought the label so we're turning all the tables around
They want you quiet so we're breaking all the silence with sound
We've all got shit we think we'll never figure out
So pick yourself back up and put on a smile
It's been a while since you told me that you wanna get better
Do you wanna get better?

He took a pill so he'd sleep all day
If he weren't awake then he'd feel okay
Drowning in a bottle is a temporary fix for him

'Cause when he's numb there ain't nothing else to run from
Told his homies that he hadn't hit the bottom
And when they're gone he hopes that everyone had really listened

Think back, you were standing right there
When I saw it coming, yeah
And face facts
Even though you hate that you're caught up in the moment
But the moment's over

We've all got issues
But we cut from the same cloth
They bought the label so we're turning all the tables around
They want you quiet so we're breaking all the silence with sound
We've all got shit we think we'll never figure out
So pick yourself back up and put on a smile
I haven't seen you make that face in a while

So look what you got
Doesn't seem like a lot
It's just in your blind-spot
'Cause nobody said you ever had to be the person you're not

We've all got issues
But we cut from the same cloth
They bought the label so we're turning all the tables around
They want you quiet so we're breaking all the silence with sound
We've all got shit we think we'll never figure out
So pick yourself back up and put on a smile
It's been a while since you told me that you wanna get better
It's been a while (been a while)
Do you wanna get better?
It's been a while (been a while)
Do you wanna get better?
It's been a while (been a while)
It's been a while since you told me that you wanna get better
