"Better Way" lyrics
Like a ghost, I'm nothing but a whisper
On the wind, that you don't hear
Skin and bones, I wouldn't even leave them
If I found a way to disappear
So, I'll pace around inside all the memories
Of a time when I felt alive
And I can't keep waking every day
Wishing you were by my side
There must be a better way
There must be a better way
Tear my body open wide - I'm open wide
When I'm dancing with the dead
I just killed another night
But my love's gotta show me a better way
Like a ghost, I'm praying for a vision
Of your face, soft and clear
Open wounds; I'll never stop 'em bleeding
When I catch myself back in
The dark night of my soul, down by your lake
Where I had left your garden razed
Now, I am lost there in its maze
With every thorn you faced
So, I'll pace around inside all the memories
Of a time when I felt alive
And I can't keep waking every day
Wishing you were by my side
There must be a better way
There must be a better way
Tear my body open wide - I'm open wide
When I'm dancing with the dead
I just killed another night
But my love's gotta show me a better way
The beast will howl and wear that crown
From a demon cloud, the tears rain down
And every day is another one
You are never gonna see at all
The beast will howl and wear that crown
From a demon cloud, the tears rain down
Well, every day is another war
That you are never gonna see at all
When the days are holding me
Just like a tourniquet
The sun goes down; I shiver
I kill another night, oh, why?
You'll never leave
And you're the sinking in my belly, now
Another night away
I kill another night away
You'll never leave
And you're the sinking in my belly, now
There must be a better way
There must be a better way
Tear my body open wide - I'm open wide
When I'm dancing with the dead
I just killed another night
But my love's gotta show me a better way
Am I brave enough to keep living
When I'm on the edge, tonight
And I'll never find a way home?
Gotta be braver than what I'm feeling
'Cause I'm on the edge, tonight
And I'll never find a way home
On the wind, that you don't hear
Skin and bones, I wouldn't even leave them
If I found a way to disappear
So, I'll pace around inside all the memories
Of a time when I felt alive
And I can't keep waking every day
Wishing you were by my side
There must be a better way
There must be a better way
Tear my body open wide - I'm open wide
When I'm dancing with the dead
I just killed another night
But my love's gotta show me a better way
Like a ghost, I'm praying for a vision
Of your face, soft and clear
Open wounds; I'll never stop 'em bleeding
When I catch myself back in
The dark night of my soul, down by your lake
Where I had left your garden razed
Now, I am lost there in its maze
With every thorn you faced
So, I'll pace around inside all the memories
Of a time when I felt alive
And I can't keep waking every day
Wishing you were by my side
There must be a better way
There must be a better way
Tear my body open wide - I'm open wide
When I'm dancing with the dead
I just killed another night
But my love's gotta show me a better way
The beast will howl and wear that crown
From a demon cloud, the tears rain down
And every day is another one
You are never gonna see at all
The beast will howl and wear that crown
From a demon cloud, the tears rain down
Well, every day is another war
That you are never gonna see at all
When the days are holding me
Just like a tourniquet
The sun goes down; I shiver
I kill another night, oh, why?
You'll never leave
And you're the sinking in my belly, now
Another night away
I kill another night away
You'll never leave
And you're the sinking in my belly, now
There must be a better way
There must be a better way
Tear my body open wide - I'm open wide
When I'm dancing with the dead
I just killed another night
But my love's gotta show me a better way
Am I brave enough to keep living
When I'm on the edge, tonight
And I'll never find a way home?
Gotta be braver than what I'm feeling
'Cause I'm on the edge, tonight
And I'll never find a way home
