Better

[00:00.22] Lips were painted cherry red
[00:03.35] And there are fossils in my head
[00:06.86] You were young and full of dread
[00:09.51] Bathsheba of the strip mall set
[00:13.45] We knew vampires in our time
[00:16.76] Cutting in the bathroom line
[00:20.03] Looking bored and rolling eyes
[00:22.88] Ain't pharmaceutically inclined
[00:26.64] Latchkey love and stolen pills
[00:29.99] Looking for a cheaper thrill
[00:32.82] Retrofitted Greek myth swill
[00:36.24] And in your hair a daffodil
[00:39.78] We could not have foreseen such light
[00:43.05] In your hazy, basement eyes
[00:46.33] Headphones in and thrift store leather
[00:49.73] Ask me why I care
[00:52.18] I thought you knew me better
[00:54.75] Better
[00:56.45] Better
[00:58.17] Better
[00:59.02] Better than that
[01:02.67]
[01:05.61] You will be missed when you go
[01:09.51] If you ever leave at all
[01:12.84] Hedonism's restrained thaw
[01:15.96] Is flooding towns and clenching jaws
[01:19.12] Are you good to drive? You're in a state
[01:22.72] Hometown script is "I'm okay
[01:25.83] I'm sticking to the old highway"
[01:29.01] Suburban cops with empty plates
[01:32.87] There's a fire that burns today
[01:35.72] It's raging under K and A
[01:38.83] I look back at descending wraiths
[01:42.43] And remnants of the failed state
[01:45.68] I knew you then and I know you now
[01:48.75] But at some lost point you became un-tethered
[01:52.79] Pent up lusts and housing busts
[01:55.74] You ask me why I care
[01:58.39] I thought you knew me better
[02:00.97] Better
[02:02.68] Better
[02:04.38] Better
[02:05.10] Better than that
[02:08.09]
[02:10.53] I thought you knew me better
[02:14.27] Better
[02:15.96] Better
[02:17.56] Better
[02:18.31] Better than that
[02:21.27]
[02:24.44] I thought you knew me better
[02:27.43] Better
[02:29.17] Better
[02:30.71] Better
[02:31.55] Better than that
[02:35.26]
[02:37.99] I thought you knew me better
[02:40.63] Better
[02:42.29] Better
[02:43.95] Better
[02:44.76] Better than that
[03:37.11] All I know
[03:41.08] You said you'd lay low
[03:45.48]
[03:47.57] Cold halo
[03:52.39] It shows
[03:55.01] Your way down
[03:58.30] All I know
[04:01.92] You said you'd lay low
[04:08.39] Cold halo
[04:13.26] It shows
[04:15.52] Your way down
[04:18.83] All I know (Always)
[04:22.65] You said you'd lay low (So safe)
[04:29.10] Cold halo (Always)
[04:33.41] It shows (Always)
[04:35.24] Your way down
[04:38.41] I thought you knew me better
[04:41.74] Better
[04:44.23] Better than that
[04:48.08] Thought you knew me better
[04:51.71] Better
[04:54.13] Better than that
[04:57.92] Thought you knew me better
[05:01.64] Better
[05:04.11] Better than that
[05:07.84] Thought you knew me better
[05:11.68] Better
[05:14.00] Better than that
[05:18.11]
