Better is a slab of summer funk pop, bursting with joyous energy and carrying a hopeful message about wellbeing and recovery.
lyrics
If a consciousness in constant flux creates instantaneous entities,
My saddest self created an anchor.
A portal or a node or whatever you want to call it. He called me up, looking for answers. What he said:
“I’m lost, so lost.
Have you found the panacea that we’ve all been searching for?
Have you banished that curse of futility away”
I’m glad to say that in a roundabout way, there’s an asterix there, a caveat, but I have.
It’s gone, yes it’s gone, at least it is part of the time.
This ain’t our first rodeo, rodeo.
We’ve been around this block a few times before.
We can handle one more
Well I thought just there I thought just now that maybe I had finally left those woods behind.
But we’re not so different you and I we’ll be there again and again and time after time after time after time.
Underneath the canopy no light shines through,
But still I became the man who stands, bruised but better in front of you.
It’s because I’ve seen the bottom that I know it’s true that there is another side.
If there’s a way out we will find.
We will make it through.
It’s gone, yeah it’s gone, at least it is at some small part of the time,
You’re not alone, not alone, your better half is here to help you along.
It won’t be like this forever, you gonna gonna get gonna get better,
This ain’t our first rodeo, rodeo,
We’ve been around this block a few times before
We can handle one more.
Everything is gonna be alright,
More or less, at least some of the time.
It won’t be like this forever,
You’re going to get better.
It won’t be like this forever, you gonna gonna get gonna get better,
It’s gone, yeah it’s gone, at least it is at some small part of the time,
You’re not alone, not alone, your better half is here to help you along.
It won’t be like this forever, you gonna gonna get gonna get better,
This ain’t our first rodeo, rodeo,
We’ve been around this block a few times before
We can handle one more.
