Lyrics
I've only known what I'll never be
I understand what I'll never achieve
I'm only shown what I'll never need, no empathy for bending knees
I'm exposed to what I'll never require, lacking compassion for supplication
Neglect for dealing with demons who dance freely on feelings
Disregard for confronting inner struggles that thrive on emotions
The sins stacked to the ceiling I've seen since I was three
The accumulation of wrongdoings witnessed since early childhood
Was always told not to dwell on dreams
Advised against dwelling on aspirations
Your melodies are impressive but save yourself for progression
Compliments on musical skill but prioritize personal advancement
Pay attention in lessons, don't ever mention depression
Focus on learning, never acknowledge feelings of despair
If you're feeling upset, practice smiling, pretending
Mask negative emotions by smiling, feigning happiness
Because you're not going to want to be a possible option
Don't become a viable choice for harsh truths and substance abuse
For the condescending honesty and herbal concoction
Dealing with judgmental truths and intoxication
On top of all the policies for polishing apologies
Constantly justifying outdated biases that hinder progress
Justify the racist, ancient, ageist wastes of space that plague the change, yeah
Criticizing societal prejudices that obstruct positive change
But man, I feel much better today
Expressing a newfound sense of improvement or relief
Yeah
-But man, I feel much better today
-Yeah
-I wanna live but something's stopping me
Desire to live but facing internal barriers
They see me screaming for the ghost but it's been years since he spoke to me
Seeking guidance or communication from a lost connection
He has a hold of me
Feeling controlled by negative thoughts, losing hope
The thoughts that tighten the rope and dim the shutters of hope are burning holes in me
Struggling thoughts intensifying despair
So just let go of me
Asking for release from this burden
I'm heaving, hoping you'll come back
Hoping for a return of someone who understands
Why would you come back to someone who's so sad
Questioning why someone would return to a saddened individual
Once I was so glad, talk about someday
Reflecting on past happiness, discussing a future that never arrived
You said you're an old man on your fifteenth birthday
Reference to feeling aged beyond years, disillusionment with destiny
So fuck fate, fuck hope
Expressing anger and resentment towards fate, change, and loss
Fuck change, fuck tokes
-Fuck the day you had to go
-Fuck the things I didn't say, the things I didn't know
-Fuck the faces in the places where the patient used to go
-Fuck cancer for the chains that it wrapped around his throat
-Yeah
No lyrics present in this line
But you said "man, I feel much better today
Reiteration of feeling better despite ongoing struggles
And you said "man, I feel much better today
-And you said "man, I feel much better today
-Yeah, and you said "man, I feel much better today
-Yeah, yeah
No lyrics present in this line
So stay gone and stay long, what happened to the
Recollection of memories tied to someone departed
Clay thoughts I based on ceramics of a
-Face gone a face lost that's living on in
-His mates songs and raindrops are falling on me
-Mass card, your dad's car reminds me of our
-Last laugh, your glass hands were resting on the
-Black dash and bud, I just don't know what to say to you
-I just hope I feel better someday
Hope for future improvement despite current struggles
Yeah, "I just hope I feel better someday
-Yeah, "I just hope I feel better someday
-I just hope I feel better someday
-I just hope I feel better someday
Continued hope for eventual betterment
