Better Things

Well it was your eyes that led me in
Before I knew what was coming
You were dragging me down soon as I came in
But now it seems like it's over

Well we had a nice night, we had a good time
Even though I'm still a prisoner stuck in my mind
But is it alright to settle with life
If I feel I'm not ready to give up the fight?

I wanna fill my head with better things
I wanna live in a beautiful dream
Not down here dying in the streets
If you're down then you're coming with me

Quiet homes full of mystery
And dark roads cover all I see
I wanna know what's coming to me
I wanna know if I'll ever be free

You were roaming in the streets like me
We were blind beggars keeping company
But my father's ghost still follows me
He's telling me what I can and can't be

I had a nice night, I had a good time
Even though I'm still a prisoner stuck in my mind
But is it alright to settle with life
If I feel that I haven't given it a fight?

I wanna fill my head with better things
I wanna live in a beautiful dream
Not down here dying in the streets
If you're down then you're coming with me

Quiet homes full of mystery
And dark roads cover all I see
I wanna know what's coming to me
I wanna know if I'll ever be free

I see ghosts in the rain
Telling me I'll never know my true name
I see my body go up in flames
Showing me things don't have to be this way
Which will I choose?
Which way will I go?
These things I just don't know
Am I fool?
Can I let this go?
If I am told to go home

I wanna fill my head with better things
I wanna live in a beautiful dream
Not down here dying in the streets
If you're down then you're coming with me

Quiet homes full of mystery
And dark roads cover all I see
I wanna know what's coming to me
I wanna know if I'll ever be free
I wanna fill my head with better things
