lyrics

I went to work and then I came home
I made myself food then I stared at my phone
I did the same yesterday and the day before
This isn’t what they said life was for
Now I should be helping the world to change
Or at least doing something to gain some fame
That way it would be worth it that way it would be fine
But I tried and I failed and I’m running out of time

Someday soon it’s gotta be better than this
Better than this

I’m not a Christian I not a Jew
Not a Muslim or Buddhist or whatever you choose
I can’t even say I’m an atheist
At least when I was I could just exist
Now maybe there’s something out there but who knows
What’s the point of being happy if it’s gone tomorrow?
I’m sure there’s a bright side, I’m sure there’s a way,
But I’ve already heard everything there is to say

Someday soon it’s gotta be better than this
Better than this
