It's 4AM on a school night
100 calorie life
Making sure the setup's just right just right
Burning every bridge that I grace
Making sure that I feel pain
Getting in a bitter headspace at this pace
I'm ready to go
I know
You're craving for a brand new low
I'm ready to go
To half my growth and put on a show
To you I'm better better better off worse
You listen when it hurts too much to bear
It's like I'm better better better off worse
My happiness is never cared for
Overanalyze my broken heart as the tempo kicks up a notch
Cuz I'm better better better off worse
You only ever like me in this spiral of despair
No we must go back
Go back to my roots if you could call it that
Go back to the hurdles that I've already passed
Reliving them over and over
And when there is closure
We gotta be bolder
I'm ready to go
Because I know my woes are product to be consumed
Now you're running low
I know you want something new
But what else can I do?
Oh, what else can I do?
To you I'm better better better off worse
You listen when it hurts too much to bear
It's like I'm better better better off worse
My happiness is never cared for
Overanalyze my broken heart as the tempo kicks up a notch
Cuz I'm better better better off worse
You only ever like me in this spiral of despair
BETTER OFF
Better off recovering than recovered
Better off hurting than to have hurt
Better off in the dark than in the light
Better off near death than be alright
Bleed out for audience approval
Tragic but perfectly on schedule
You think by now that we would've learned
Behind every piece of art is a human to be heard
But I'm still better better better off worse
You listen when it hurts too much to bear
It's like I'm better better better off worse
Rejecting change to keep you there
Because I'm better better better off worse
You listen when I'm running out of time
It's like I'm better better better off worse
The mourning of one still alive
I oversimplify the tears I cry
While you tear them down line by line
Cuz I'm better better better off worse
You only ever like me only ever like me when I wanna DIE
I'm better off
BETTER OFF WORSE
