A Better Nothing

(album: The Betrayed - 2010)

A dark place in the light of this city.
I know this feeling I keep buried inside,
won't retreat, or delete.
It ends tonight.
The dull pain that remains isn't pretty.
I'm being smothered in the flames I ignite.
Oh my city is burning tonight.

[Chorus:]
So how's it gonna feel when I leave this town,
broke and burning, with the memories that we once found.
I'm out of time and I'm, I'm out of place.
I left a love I can't replace
To find home.
Yet everytime I'm left with nothing,
(Home)
But nothing's all I need.
(To find home)
Another time, there's always something,
(Home)
But never inside me.

My chest tightens,
It brightens the light of the stars,
revealing our scars, all the times that were ours.
On the run with nothing but an appetite for lust and seduction.
I won't start again with the feelings.
I know what I need and it's so unappealing.
I sink below, let me go.
I need to find my way back to what I know.

[Chorus:]
So how's it gonna feel when I leave this town,
broke and burning, with the memories that we once found.
I'm out of time and I'm, I'm out of place.
I left a love I can't replace
To find home.
Yet everytime I'm left with nothing,
(Home)
But nothing's all I need.
(To find home)
Another time, there's always something,
(Home)
But never inside me.

So how's it gonna feel when I leave this town,
broke and burning, with the memories that we once found.
So how's it gonna feel when I leave this town,
how's it gonna feel, how's it gonna feel, when I leave.

So how's it gonna feel when I leave this,
so how's it gonna feel.
To find, to find, to find, to find, find, home.

Yet everytime I'm left with nothing,
(Home)
but nothing's all I need.

So how's it gonna feel when I leave this town,
how's it gonna feel when I leave this town,
how's it gonna feel when I leave this town,
how's it gonna feel, how's it gonna feel,

When I leave, when I leave
When I leave, when I leave
When I leave, when I leave
When I leave, when I leave
When I leave this town
