Lyrics My Better Self - Tennis

My Better Self

My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes
Each and every attempt
A bit of substance spent
Despite the effort I have lent
You seem to lose what I meant
If I don’t use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to posses
A purpose and function that cannot be met
Those who create it know
There is an ebb and flow
Of neither value given shows
That meaning comes and goes
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes
If I don’t use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to posses
A purpose and function that cannot be met
If I don’t use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to posses
A purpose and function that cannot be met
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes
