lyrics

There's a burning, turning, sick desire I've gotta wrestle before I move higher
Baby, I gotta go bold
Has this stone already rolled
Into stiffer, steeper, thicker water? Evicted off of the edge, another squatter
Some things don't come easy if you're holding still

It's too good to be true, I know, but I heard it happened all to you, and I want some,

'Cause it's better there, than it is here
They never care, wasting those years being
Self-aware, wishing for a little
Time to spare, before I bottom out

My pulse is spiking, liking the change of scenery, now I'll be somewhere in back if you need me
Hey man, I'm already sold, so won't you turn me to gold
Rolling up on the sleek glass table, making one quick misstep? There's your label
Some things go to quickly if you look away
You can button down that lip, but I know the truth will come around and hit me, 'cause it's better there...

Today my reputation's nonexistent, or so they tell me
They say there was a train but now I missed it, and now I'm poisoned thinking 'bout how it's better there...

'Cause it's better there, than it is here
They never care, fending off stones and
Dirty stares, hopes and worries and
Dreams laid bare, that's how I bottomed out
