Better Than Hell

I’ll see you in person and
Pretend I like you
I’m mad convincing
I’m starting to believe that
We’re already in hell
Or some kind of alien simulation
I really could be better to myself
And I’m so bored all the time
I feel like I’m dying
Or at least I wish I was
Everybody here is all the same
Give them an inch and they will
Take the mile away from you
Users, abusers, anything but friends
Still, anything’s better than hell
I really could be better to myself
I don’t pray anymore
I don’t feel anything, anymore
There was a time when I could help myself
Still, anything’s better than hell
I really should be better to nyself
Anything’s better than hell
Better to myself
One of these days, I swear, I’ll be happy again

Kicking and Screaming

I heard, “only the good die young.”
And it must be true,
Because I’m still here
And so are you
I know I’m still young
And I’ve got time,
But time has never been on my side
Sometimes I feel I’m being dragged away,
Kicking and screaming
I know I feel this way, ‘cause I’m
Kicking and Screaming
My mother, she’s a bad woman
I’ve felt her cold, cold hands wrapped tightly
Around my throat
She’s only living what she knows,
And she’s never been told
I heard, “only the good die young.”
And it must be true,
Because I’m still here and so are you
I had a good, good father
He was my dream
Darkness and a strong disease took Him away from me
My mother, she only believes
What she’s gonna believe
There’s been no “wrong-doing”
No bad seed
For her to reap
But just as sure as the moon will rise:
He’ll take an eye for an eye
And she’ll go
Kicking and screaming
Kicking and Screaming

What Sanity

You don’t have to love me
I don’t have to tell you so
Waiting up until midnight just
To see if you come around
I know, I know, I should’ve known
Show me what sanity I have left
Show me where it is you have slept
Show me where the key is kept
Because I want to be in your bed
I am not crazy
I am just sad
Over, and over again
I can’t cry
I’m too mad
Over, and over again
Show me what sanity I have left
Show me where it is you have slept
Show me where the key is kept
Show me what sanity I have left
Show me where it is you have slept
Show me where the key is kept
Because I want to be in your bed

Hell Bent

I swear I’m hopeful,
But I write hopeless songs
And I’ve got no money,
But I’m rich in love
And I know the way,
Oh I know the way to truth and light
Still, I find myself
Still, I find myself knocked down each night
I’m hell bent on glory
One day, I’ll buckle
One day, I’ll buckle down and figure it out
For now, I’ll struggle
For now, I’ll struggle hard and wonder how
To get out
To get out
And I know the way to truth and light
Still, I find myself knocked down each night
I’m hell bent
I’m hell bent
I’m hell bent on glory

Ten Weeks

I never thought I’d come this far
I never thought I’d put this much distance
Between me and them
Two and a half hours to Mexico
I’m eight hours from Amarillo
And I would go farther, still
I don’t know why I’m so dissatisfied
I try and try - can’t seem to get it right
How to become part of their plans
I’m disconnected
I am withdrawn
And I am a facade
I’m melancholic
I am at arms length
And I am probably wrong
We weren’t raised to say, “I’m sorry.”
We were raised to say that it’s
Not our fault
People always want what they can’t have
So I’ll stop offering
Myself up
And I’m not looking for a reason to run away
But I haven’t found a reason to stay
I’m disconnected
I am withdrawn
And I am a facade
I’m melancholic
I am at arms length
And I am probably wrong
I’m probably wrong
