Better Than This
i have long been lying
though it was not by choice
long i have engaged your lives
and hoped to hear a voice
but we’re building community on music and drink
and if no one gets lucky, we never have to think
(chorus)
cause luxury peril sets in
into our bones through our skin
and we’d rather sleep that admit
it could get better than this
you can’t know by my eyes
and I’d rather not explain
but two years ago I died
and then woke up again
and if I had the sympathy of a label or a bass
the simple love i learned you wouldn’t dare waste
but luxury peril sets in
into our bones through our skin
and we’d rather sleep that admit
it could get better than this
if you want to cry your wedding ring to sleep
if you only want a body and a piercing clear drink
if you want a lover who cannot love you back
you’ll lay with your pity for a long winter’s nap
if I said it louder
and pretended not to care
would you speak some truth?
or simply stop right there
it’s such a flood here when it’s not bone dry
blessed be the man unafraid to ask why
luxury peril sets in
into our bones through our skin
and you’d rather sleep that admit
it could get better than this
