Better Off

Bookmark
Summary:
You can play the song at the bottom of the page if you'd like. Thank you!

Please hold me when the bombs drop.
Till there’s no skin left on my flesh.
Keep smiling till our time’s up.
I need you close when I turn to ash.

This war isn’t yours or mine
but still ours for some reason.
World leaders with weakened grip
on reality caused by treason.
High velocity nuclear curiosity
killed so many felines…

Pure hypocrisy.

Let me out.
There’s no way back in for me.
Presidential infamy.
Shit’s so clear, it’s meant to be.

Such a treat to be here with you.
Evil can’t be taught,
we’re clear and see-through.
Are we in a better place now?
Are we better off somehow?

Are we biased? Jealous?

Jealous (x5)

Only a waste of time will tell us.

Please hold me when the bombs drop.
Till there’s no skin left on my flesh.
Keep smiling till our time’s up.
I need you close when I turn to ash.

Let me out.
There’s no way back in for me.
Presidential infamy.
Shit’s so clear, it’s meant to be.

Are we in a better place now?
Are we better off somehow?

Are we biased? Jealous?

Only a waste of time will tell us.

Jealous (x6)

Only a waste of time will tell us.

  1. Powerfully penned, Drieks. Nice arrangement, and you’re just a phenomenal lyricist my friend. So relevant in present times, and so unfortunately true. Excellent work. Appreciate you.
