I Was Better 10 Years Ago - Better Off

Lead me to cleaner water

I need to clean off the blue

Time was a foot race

They’re soaking in gloom

Marked up by the mistakes

That the concrete will bruise

Deepened eyes, they see the bottle is always empty

Bury your face among the pain of fire

Clean out the pile of skeletons you embraced

Vices in the way almost every time

Skin turned grey because of you

Now we swallow sorrow

And throw off regret to feel good

Skin turned grey because of you

Through the weight that pulls you under

Cut up by the glass you fell through

Sent to find shelter, walk the halls for a week

Found solace in the footsteps moving farther from the scene

Opened all the doors, empty rooms, they haunted me

Check your pulse for motivation, know the promise isn’t free

Deepened eyes, they see the bottle is always empty

Bury your face along the pain of fire

Clean out the pile of skeletons you embraced

Vices in the way almost every time

Skin turned grey because of you

Now we swallow sorrow

And throw off regret to feel good

Skin turned grey because of you

Through the weight that pulls you under

Cut up by the glass you fell through
