A Better World

I will never know you as well as razors do
I will never know you as well as pills do
I will never know you as well as hatred does
I will never know you as well as regret does

Darling, You’ve slipped beneath the favor of a careless world
The wolves are out in packs, They smell the blood in your tub
Darling, You’ve slipped beneath the table of a careless family
The snakes are out in packs, They smell the angel in your heart

Every day is all the same, A thousand moments spent trying to survive
Every night is all the same, A thousand tears spent trying to forget
Everyone is all the same, A thousand souls hell-bent on your failure
Every moment is all the same, A thousand wishes sent to the heavens

You’ve been beaten down, Torn up, Tortured and burned to the ground
I see the bruises, The scars, The tears, The shakes, The effort in hiding
I hear the cries, The pleas, I’ve heard them before but oh god the sound
It’s tearing my heart to shreds, Promise me you’ll stay alive until I can save you

I’m burning through this field as quickly as I can, The thorns are dragging me back
The roses are bleeding, The seeds are fleeing to a better field in a better world
I’m running through this world as quickly as I can, The pain is holding me back
The tears are blinding, The blood is fleeing to a better place in a better time
