Better Off
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Breaking the static a life automatic
Everyone mad about you
Look like a dirty old bruise
Face like a faded tattoo
Life imitated
It's only faded
Tired of waiting on you
What did you want me to do, sit here and dream about
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You know you're better off you bastard, bastard, bastard
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You know i'm better off you bastard, bastard, bastard
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Now that you're sane and the picture you painted
Don 't really look much like you
Little more long in the tooth, what do you know about truth?
Is it there and it's just interfering, life isn't fair but i knew
What if i'm haunted by you, everytime that i
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You know you're better off you bastard, bastard, bastard
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You know we're better off you bastard, bastard, bastard
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
You are my favorite disaster
Finally time to clear the air
Just don't forget to breathe
Please don't forget to breathe
Everyone's better off this way
So take it away
Take it away
Take it away
Go!
