Robin West - Better

Set it on fire for a start
What else do you do with a broken heart
Take off your body, stand apart
Watch it burning

Pick up your shovel and turn the spade
Bury yourself in a shallow grave
Make up your mind in a mess you never made
Pray you stop breathing

If I knew how, I would have told you by now
To follow the sound and cut it out
So I can be better

So start off walking and leave your shoes
Take out the screws when they come loose
Paint yourself in your blacks and your blues
'Cause you get nothing for bleeding

But a chip on your shoulder and an eye for your teeth
An arm and a leg for what's underneath
Sell your soul for a bit of debris
You're tired of breaking down

If I knew how, I would have told you by now
To follow the sound and cut it out
So I can be better

So set it on fire for a start
That's what you do with a wild heart
'Cause it follows after, all flicker and spark
Keeps you running
Keeps you running

If I knew how, I would have told you by now
To follow the sound and cut it out
So I can be better
