Better Off
I dropped my heart off the edge of the world
My bones lay broken, my hands lay cold
Still I find myself digging down
More than content to douse the flame
Just put it out

I'm happier alone
Bury my emotions deep down below
At least I know where I stand now
God only knows, why I ever cared

There's a void in me, tear out my conscious so I can breathe
It's all I know, I'll cut the roots before they grow

I'm well aware that embers fade
Once promising lights all flickering out
I'm wide awake
Forever caught up in this endless race
And It’s happening again
Even though these tides may carry me to happier days
This stagnant ocean won’t wash me away
There's every chance I'll regret the space that I created
When times passes by maybe this space can be re-allocated
Take me back to a time when I was whole
