Better Off

I love you all the time

I knew you in my last life

The bird sings before I fall

A warning I don’t heed at all

When you call, when you call

I’m moved by the same stars

I sing your song in the car

My lonely cuts across

Surrender to the thought:

“Better off, better off”

My delusion is soaking through

Makes my whole world wet with the idea of you

It’s not true, it’s not true, it’s not true

My fever burns in the dark

A memory of that park

A prayer into the sky

A wish I try to hide

It’s a lie, it’s a lie

I feel my angels stretch me soft

Whisper to my heart that I’m better off
