Outside it’s rainin, my roof is leaking
Inside where pain is, so the truth is speaking
Little did they know in that one level ranch
Cracks would form
All of our hearts would beat to the devil's dance
All these thoughts are like a plague
In my mind, eating away
I swear to god, I never escaped
Not with death, not with age
Judge by my cover, be my guest
Everyone’s rip the page out
I never amount to nothin, so that means there’s nothing to say about this
World I’m livin' in, never see dividends
Moment I get ahead, I’m thinking about giving in
Give it in, your inheritance, and a picture with some evidence
Riding on lifes highway with a pair of 10s
How do you not believe me?
Can you see me?
Hear me it's so time, how you supposed to leave me
Please stay, I sell everything I own
On ebay, the xbox and tv, yeah you need me
I’m doing better, better than before
And I wrote you this letter, but I left it on the floor
Saying I don’t even miss you, don’t need you no more
Cause I’m doing better, better than before
Better than before
What you’re supposed to do when your dad’s about to over dose?
In a hotel room free basing his way to a comatose
My mom’s been mailing letters to the Oprah show
With all the empty rolls of stamps is how you know we broke
We can’t deal with the prblems of being stuck on the bottom
So we go and grab the bottle
And I gotta ask myself, am I the common factor?
That everything I grab or hold falls to the ground and shatters?
Or maybe, I’m not
I doubt it’s the latter everything I chase after
Turns around and runs backwards, it’s a hazard
My drywall is cardboard windows made of saran wrap
All I’m trying to do is build this home and see your hands clap
So much words unspoken, tired of being broken
Heal me I need a potion, why can’t I feel emotions?
Anymore I’m frozen, lately I’ve been so fucking numb
Where this paralysis coming from, I don’t know, I’m fucking done
Take a look at me now, take a look at me now
I’m doing better, better than before
And I wrote you this letter, but I left it on the floor
Saying I don’t even miss you, don’t need you no more
Cause I’m doing better, better than before
Better than before
