Lyrics I Was Better 10 Years Ago - Better Off

I Was Better 10 Years Ago

Lead me to cleaner water
I need to clean off the blue
Time was a foot race
They’re soaking in gloom
Marked up by the mistakes
That the concrete will bruise
Deepened eyes, they see the bottle is always empty
Bury your face among the pain of fire
Clean out the pile of skeletons you embraced
Vices in the way almost every time
Skin turned grey because of you
Now we swallow sorrow
And throw off regret to feel good
Skin turned grey because of you
Through the weight that pulls you under
Cut up by the glass you fell through
Sent to find shelter, walk the halls for a week
Found solace in the footsteps moving farther from the scene
Opened all the doors, empty rooms, they haunted me
Check your pulse for motivation, know the promise isn’t free
Deepened eyes, they see the bottle is always empty
Bury your face along the pain of fire
Clean out the pile of skeletons you embraced
Vices in the way almost every time
Skin turned grey because of you
Now we swallow sorrow
And throw off regret to feel good
Skin turned grey because of you
Through the weight that pulls you under
Cut up by the glass you fell through
