lyrics

A Better Way

Gravedigger, what might have been? When to stop? Where to begin?
Darkness falls and gets ahold of me.
Pollution Citizen, Electromagnetic Radiation,
Lock the door and throw away the key.

You prayed I would pray for you.
As long as I’m not begging for a favor too.
Cuz I can’t do all the STOOPID things you want me to do…

Stuffing toilet paper into my ears before the day,
Hoping for a better way
A thousand Get Well cards sent to all graves near and far
Promising a better way

Broken, battered, washed ashore, one block from the liquor store
Don’t be scared this ocean’s not too deep
Hold me close, rest your head, think of peaceful thoughts instead.
Laying still until you fall asleep.

I can almost comprehend, how everything will end
Waiting for a better way.
And when all has been destroyed, I fracture and fall into the void
Dying for a better way.
