Lyrics
Better Man

I've been seeing the cracks in the mirror
Playing for keeps and staying for weeks
I don't know, if it's time to pay and play forever
I've been honoured to understand, I'm a hologram and I'm drifting sand
Crystal veils of minutes, minutes, minutes
All I ever wanted was you, all I ever managed to do, is steal a little peb-ble from your rocky shoreline
But I......I'll be a better man, this time.....make me a better man
There's a light in the tactical hard drive
Keeping me alive making me survive
I made it tell and I didn't make it down forever
It's time for living it out again its a claim to send in a fragile land
I'm still here and every day just came to now
All I ever wanted was you, all I ever managed to do
Is steal a little pebble from your rocky shoreline
But I......I'll be a better man, this time.....stake me a better man
