Better Dead Lyrics by Real Life Parody

Keepsake

2015

How does it feel to sleep?
I spend every night on my feet
Filling out false guarantees
All I can do is sink
I'm filling my bones with concrete
And diving in deeper seas
I can try
To hold everything I can in my hands
But they’ll give, and they'll fall
And I'll have to start again
I’m breaking through my skin
And wearing myself thin
I gave away the pieces of my skeleton
I'm tearing out my hair
To pull the thoughts out of my head
'Cause I know that I'm worth something
But I thought I'd be better dead
I'm lying down in coffins
I've crafted for myself
True masterpieces built to keep the confidence I held
I can't stop the heavens
As dark clouds start to form
And I wanted better weather
But I asked for storms
I’d take a bullet for someone else
But I wouldn’t for myself
Because I'm only here to help
No I’m only here to help
I'm breaking through my skin
And wearing myself thin
I gave away the pieces of my skeleton
I'm tearing out my hair
To pull the thoughts out of my head
'Cause I know that I’m worth something
But I thought I'd be better dead
If you look up
You'll see me falling down
Like a comet to Earth
I'll make my home in the ground
I'm breaking through my skin
And wearing myself thin
I gave away the pieces of my skeleton
I'm tearing out my hair
To pull the thoughts out of my head
'Cause I know that I'm worth something
But I thought I'd be better dead
