Better at Being Me

Prelude

Shadows stretch across the hallway

Echoed hush, the day trembling still

Paper skin remembers silent fights

Sun through the window never feels warm

Fractured memories now cross the line

Hold my breath as the world wakes up

A tremor in my bones, waiting to break

Timeless ache beneath the surface

Verse 1

Small

Glass cage

I am cracked

Hard to contain

Spilling out on the kitchen floor

Wiping it away with a dirty sleeve

I forgot how to breathe for you

Stifling

Heavy

Wrong

Chorus

I'm not what you want me to be

I'm not what you want me to be

But I'm better at just being me

Better at being me

Better at being me

Verse 2

Stone

Cold hands

Laying in the water

Tastes like envy and regret

Scraping my knees on the gravel pavement

Running till both my legs become numb

I feel the pain

Moving

Slow

Choking on forgotten lies

Choking on forgotten truth

Chorus

I'm not what you want me to be

I'm not what you want me to be

But I'm better at just being me

Better at being me

Better at being me

Bridge

Cut the wire

Burn the script

Break the frame

Watch it fall apart

Watch it fall away

Watch it fall down

My skin is finally my own

Cold and hard and alive

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I'm not what you want me to be

I'm not what you want me to be

But I'm better at just being me

Better at being me

Better at being me

Outro

Just being me

I am just better

Just being me

Better now

Much Better

Being me
