OH FYO! - The Gold Beneath the Dirt

I am living in a house
where the rain pours in
and the walls are creeping closer
Im short of money and my car gave up
yes, Ive seen better moments

sounds like a cliché sounds like a script
where the hero starts out hopeless
but Im selling my soul just to pay the rent
so I dont ever end up homeless
Im sick of my job cause it makes me a hypocrite
knowing that I'm going nowhere
Im stuck in a state of sheer indifference
wishing for it to be over

here I am just hanging on
so far away from where I belong
but I wont bow down
to what went wrong
Ill make things turn out right
and I may fail a thousand times
but one day Ill do

better than this, better than this
one day I'll do better than this
when the time has come
one day I'll do, one day I'll do
better than this, better than this
one day I'll do better than this
when the time has come
one day I'll do, one day I'll do
better than this

I struggle with the bad habits dragging me down
that dominate my attention
still a victim of my dark desires
and a waste of my potential
Im sick of myself standing in my own way
falling in and out of addiction
my urge is a current too hard to fight
like I was rowing this boat through quicksand

here I am
just rowing on
so far away from where I belong
but I wont bow down
to what went wrong
Ill make things turn out right
and I may fail a thousand times
but one day Ill do

better than this, better than this
one day I'll do better than this
when the time has come
one day I'll do, one day I'll do
better than this, better than this
one day I'll do better than this
when the time has come
one day I'll do, one day I'll do
better than this

I hope that all my patience will be worth it
I pray its gonna pay, don't I deserve it?
I haven't found the gold beneath the dirt, yet
but I am gonna keep on tryin' till the day that I do

better than this, better than this
one day I'll do better than this
when the time has come
one day I'll do, one day I'll do
better than this, better than this
one day I'll do better than this
when the time has come
one day I'll do, one day I'll do
better than this
