Better Days
thanks, brain
So now the end has come
And I am feeling nothing but relief
I had forgotten how it feels
To not be underneath your feet
And I will walk on
Float on
Fly on
To better days
So light the fireworks
Pop the champagne bottles and bang the drums
I haven't got a thing from you
Except the damage you have done
And I will walk on
Float on
Fly on
To better days
Like coming in from winter's chill
I feel my fingers start to thaw
And drawing every breath feels like
A small defiance of it all
I know it's not the end
Your influence remains
But I can feel the swift
Approach of better days
I kept my scars, the empty bottles
And the place where you once were
Took back my days and all my friends
And the aloneness I prefer
Better Days

Re: Better Days
I am definitely too square for how experimental this is, but I can imagine that if I was in the right state of mind, the section starting at 2:20 might transport me to another dimension - jeffhenderson

Better Days
by Lunkhead
I never lived through
Such strange times
You know I'm needing
To turn the page
Shred the calendar
Wash out my eyes
My soul needs healing
Gonna burn some sage
A new year’s here
But I still feel fear
I thought there'd be
better days ahead
The joke's on me
it's just more of the same instead
Stuck in a loop
I can’t take anymore
Every tomorrow is a rerun of the one before
Is this forever or
Just right now?
Moments fly by
While life stands still
I dream of waking
In a brave new world
Hope it looks familiar
I’m not sure it will
A change has come
But is it enough?
I thought there'd be
better days ahead
The joke's on me
it's just more of the same instead
Stuck in a loop
I can’t take anymore
Every tomorrow is a rerun of the one before
I wanna party
Go to the movies
Go see some bands
With all my friends
I thought there'd be
better days ahead
The joke's on me
it's just more of the same instead
Stuck in a loop
I can’t take anymore
