Something Better - Adam Watts

i look, i feel, i listen

i’m only hearing my own voice

the echo of pointless

i try to force my weakness

release imprisoned slaves of choice

i couldn’t avoid this

i should be something better

this bird ain’t got no feathers

flying straight to the ground

i could be something better

seen through Your eyes forever

floating, holy

leaving lonely alone

a crook, a thief, a liar

an honest man, all rolled in one

in theory i’m perfect

the love i feel is poisoned

by judge and jury in my head

no law is anointed

i should be something better

this bird ain’t got no feathers

flying straight to the ground

i could be something better

seen through Your eyes forever

floating, holy

leaving lonely alone

i could be wrong, maybe i’m not so bad

and the road’s just long

is good luck not what i’ve had

i’d like to believe this

ingest and recieve this

but i’d be gone if i do

'cause my lies are never true

(verse 3)

i fill my heart with fire

i breathe the smoke of burning pain

desire the cancer

i train my face to play out

the fiction drama every day

i’m left disappointed

i should be something better

this bird ain’t got no feathers

flying straight to the ground

i could be something better

seen through Your eyes forever

floating, holy

leaving lonely alone
