Better Days (Are in My Head)

I'm staring at this wall again

I think I made a lifeless friend

Waiting for the world to end

Drinking wine late at night again.

I tore right through those TV shows

A dozen films I'm supposed to know

Only half of those stood the test of time

But who am I to judge, always wasting mine?

I started writing plays again

Halfway through I quit again

I think I'll sing and smoke instead

It makes be feel alive when I'm barely living.

I'm staring at this wall again

They've kind of been a lifelong friend

Stuck inside and wondering

What the future holds when I'm free again.

I started losing sleep again

Thinking up a million plans

I'll never do or lift a hand

At least I got the stars twinklin' up ahead.

Yeah, I guess it's true

I'm just getting through

The only way I always have.

Yeah, I'm feeling bad

But I always have

And every time I've seen

Every time I've seen some better days.

I'm staring at this wall again

Projecting my whole life ahead

Feeling like a better man

Knowin' better days are in my head.

I'm turning off those TV shows

I'm turning on to write my own

I'll sing and smoke until I know

The world is waking up, and I got some place to go.

The world is waking up, and I got some place to go.

I'm staring this wall again.

Nice to see my lifeless friend

Waiting for the world to end

All over, and over, all over again.
