Better Things

Well it was your eyes that led me in

Before I knew what was coming

You were dragging me down soon as I came in

But now it seems like it's over

Well we had a nice night, we had a good time

Even though I'm still a prisoner stuck in my mind

But is it alright to settle with life

If I feel I'm not ready to give up the fight?

I wanna fill my head with better things

I wanna live in a beautiful dream

Not down here dying in the streets

If you're down then you're coming with me

Quiet homes full of mystery

And dark roads cover all I see

I wanna know what's coming to me

I wanna know if I'll ever be free

You were roaming in the streets like me

We were blind beggars keeping company

But my father's ghost still follows me

He's telling me what I can and can't be

I had a nice night, I had a good time

Even though I'm still a prisoner stuck in my mind

But is it alright to settle with life

If I feel that I haven't given it a fight?

I wanna fill my head with better things

I wanna live in a beautiful dream

Not down here dying in the streets

If you're down then you're coming with me

Quiet homes full of mystery

And dark roads cover all I see

I wanna know what's coming to me

I wanna know if I'll ever be free

I see ghosts in the rain

Telling me I'll never know my true name

I see my body go up in flames

Showing me things don't have to be this way

Which will I choose?

Which way will I go?

These things I just don't know

Am I fool?

Can I let this go?

If I am told to go home

I wanna fill my head with better things

I wanna live in a beautiful dream

Not down here dying in the streets

If you're down then you're coming with me

Quiet homes full of mystery

And dark roads cover all I see

I wanna know what's coming to me

I wanna know if I'll ever be free

I wanna fill my head with better things
