*Better*

THIS IS MY 100TH BLOGGED LYRIC/POEM!


Pushing myself through this wave of destruction,
All we recognize is all this corruption,
The darkness in me,
The darkness in you,
We are all to blame,
I'm trying to find myself again,
I seem to have lost myself in you,
Failed to see what I could have had,
The light in the street is wearing thin,
The fire in our eyes is slowly dying,
I need to find myself before I lose myself.

Evil is getting the better of us,
I'm trying to be a better man,
I'm trying to be a better man,
Somebody come find me.

On the line to change my ways,
To be someone that I can trust,
Looking in the mirror
To see if I can recognize myself,
I figured I can do no more wrong
If I can look inside my soul,
One by one just trying to steer clear
Through the path that I have chosen,
The long walks down the road,
The memory of my heart you stole,
Fighting off the demons I see,
Young at heart and years to go,
Struggling to find a way back home.

(slowly)
Convinced that everything can be fixed,
With a gentle heart and a sweet touch,
Distance doesn't mean anything,
The hell we keep putting ourselves through,
The hearts that keep breaking,
The desire of finding oneself
No matter where life takes you,
To find a way back,
To understand.
(fade out)

Just trying,
Just trying,
Always trying,
Oh, just trying.

Better, better for me,
Better, better for you,
Going down that same road,
Similar writings on the wall,
Slipping and falling for you,
I've learned, but I guess not much,
Still stuck in the same state of mind
That was to blame all this time,
Looking for a way to get myself
Out of this hole that I've created,
Done with the long nights
Where I stayed up thinking about
Everything,
Up and away,
This crazy life and those sweet blue eyes
That always get me no matter what,
Tough luck along the way where I walk,
Finding a way to find myself again,
Because I lost myself in you, in you,
I'll keep writing everything down,
To keep track of what I love,
To keep track of the thing's I lost.

Better, better for me,
Better, better for you,
Wondering where I stand
If I just do what I'm told,
Or if I continue walking
Making decisions on my own,
Go all out, go on 
Making a move to eliminate
Any evil within,
Any hatred for yourself,
On the road again,
Feeling weak, but strong,
No sound around me,
All hope around you,
Finding myself in this situation
That got me where I am now,
Lost myself and still turning every direction,
Let me work this out on my own,
Let me warm to where I feel I belong,
Maybe I'll find myself in you,
Maybe I'll finally see what you've been through,
Maybe I can fix you, I want to,
But I need to fix me, to find me,
Without knowing yourself where do you stand?
Better, better for me,
Better, better for you,
This garden,
This mountain of life,
The words from our mouths
Don't always feel right.

It's
Better, better for me,
Better, better for you,
It's
Better, better for me,
Better, better for you.
