A Better Universe Lyrics by Brandon Boyd

Echoes & Cocoons

2022

I met you in a dream
And in the dream you died
I slow danced on your grave
And I got all teary eyed
I woke up with a smile
Wiped the tears away
I wished that it were real
So it goes, so I'll say
I'm sorry but
It's a better universe without you in it
Did you read the book or did you just see the movie?
Every breath you take is just a waste of air
I'm sorry but
It's a better universe without you in it
Did you read the book or did you just see the movie?
Every breath you take is just a waste of air
Oh, you can't bottle a dream
Oh, chimera for hire
But if I could I would
Some unknown amplifier
So now I lay me down
I promise I'll behave
But if in my dream you died
Then I'll dance on your grave
I'm sorry but
It's a better universe without you in it
Did you read the book or did you just see the movie?
Every breath you take is just a waste of air
I'm sorry but
It's a better universe without you in it
Did you read the book? I doubt you even saw the movie
Every breath you take is just a waste of air
