Better Lyrics by Caracara

Better - EP

2019

Lips were painted cherry red
And there are fossils in my head
You were young and full of dread
Bathsheba of the strip mall set
We knew vampires in our time
Cutting in the bathroom line
Looking bored and rolling eyes
Ain't pharmaceutically inclined
Latchkey love and stolen pills
Looking for a cheaper thrill
Retrofitted Greek myth swill
And in your hair a daffodil
We could not have foreseen such light
In your hazy, basement eyes
Headphones in and thrift store leather
Ask me why I care

I thought you knew me better than that

You will be missed when you go
If you ever leave at all
Hedonism's restrained thaw
Is flooding towns and clenching jaws
Are you good to drive? You're in a state
Hometown script is "I'm okay
I'm sticking to the old highway"
Suburban cops with empty plates
There's a fire that burns today
It's raging under K and A
I look back at descending wraiths
And remnants of the failed state
I knew you then and I know you now
But at some lost point you became untethered
Pent up lusts and housing busts
You ask me why I care

I thought you knew me better than that

[Marisa Dabice]
All I know
You said you'd lay low
Cold halos
You chose your way down

Always so safe
Always, always

I thought you knew me better than that
