Phil Power - Better

It's the last page
Of these last near two years
Time is running out and so has my papers
I lay down
Never get up to move
I lay dead
I'm too afraid to
All my betters did it better
What have I done
With two years and love and aspiration

It's the last page
Gotta make everything count
(So much pressure, pressure)
Only wanna give me something to remember

How damn long
Til I get somewhere better
Til I get somewhere better, better, better, oh
How damn long
I've been fightin' for years, to get where I want to be
Not where I hate to be
Tell me, give me strength to find, I need to find some better
Tell me, help me cross the line, I need to find some better

How did my betters do it better?
How did they use the time in the day?
When the day runs away, runs away, runs away
I lay down
I'm tryin to get up to move
Reminds me of what my father said when he said, he said
"I'm half dead
But I'm half alive"
But I could fuckin' cry as I ascend
The stairs of fuckin' necessity
If I keep going down, what will be left of me

It's the last page
Gotta make everything count
(So much pressure, pressure)
And I don't mind the thought of it testin' me
I just wish that I had the best of me

How
Damn loong
Til I get somewhere better
Til I get somewhere better, better, better, oh
How damn long
I been fightin my fears, just kiddin', wake up, now fight these tears
Tell me, give me strength to find, I need to find some better
Tell me, help me cross the line, save me and my mind, some better

She says I got an anger problem, I say that's not unheard of
But I say that I've got no problem, like a problem's unheard of
Think I've got an anxious problem, this behaviour's unheard of
Think I've got a progress problem, don't wanna be unheard of
What do I do, what do you do, when it's only you?

And I wish that I was singin of some kinda respiration
Not just one breath and stuck holdin' it all in
Hands on the means yet still I scream

How damn long
Til I get somewhere better
Til I get somewhere better, better, better, oh
How damn long
I been fightin my years, habits are enemies, my key to entropy
Tell me, give me strength to find, I need to find some better
Tell me, help me cross the line, I need to find some better
Can you tell me, help me flip these blinds, do not stop til I
Say
(Will not stop til I)
(That's better)
Say
(Said it's mine this time)
(That's better)
Say
(Promise self that I'll)
(That's better)
Say
(That's better)
Some better
