Better Than Drowning

Having shattered glass for my tears isn't so bad
Because the scars remind me of the times that I once had
The older I get, the only thing I see is death, I wonder
Is it my time yet?
Not only have I lost coordination, I’m hearing false accusations painting me into a demon.

Can’t look into a mirror
I hate what I see
Can’t even tell no other
Expectations just kill me
I’ll never trust another
You’ve mucked it royally
The devil undercover
What have you made out of me?

When all is said and done
The demons have escaped
No one ever leaves
I just replace that I am so shaked
I try to miss the hate
I can't take it away
I must believe I’m going insane
For the power of saints

I’ll keep drinking because my boat is only sinking
So it’s Better Than Drowning
I’ll keep killing because my ghosts are only giving
Me another reason to live
I’ll keep fighting because my gloves are only wearing
Further Into my skin
I’ll keep preaching because my voice is the only
Sound that you hate

I'm not gonna do
What you want like I’m your puppet
You’re putting words into my mouth
Like I’ve been cast a muppet
Denial bites you in the ass wherever you try to hide
You see it comes from you coz
Everyone has one inside

Awaken up the beast
Let his mind come to play
Try to hold him back
But you’ll never find a way
Screaming in your mind
“No I won’t go and do it”
As you pull the trigger to your gun
And pop goes the bullet!!

I’ll keep drinking because my boat is only sinking
it’s Better Than Drowning
I’ll keep killing because my ghosts are only giving
Me another reason to live
I’ll keep fighting because my gloves are only wearing
Further Into my skin
I’ll keep preaching because my voice is the only
Sound that you hate

But I know you only like the truth
What did I do to make you conclude?
Where do I turn as I’m black and blue?
I can’t rest cause I’ve got myself to prove

I’ll keep drinking because my boat is only sinking
So it’s Better Than Drowning
I’ll keep killing because my ghosts are only giving
Me another reason to live
I’ll keep fighting because my gloves are only wearing
Further Into my skin
I’ll keep preaching——
