A Better Way

Are we monsters among men
Slaves to the pen
Writing our sins for the masses
Like scattered petals dance
We dreamed to kiss the sky
As we stare through veiled eyes
We breathe just to die

A hundred burning flowers
Couldn't keep me warm
Even in the coldest December storm
Is this all I'll ever be
This Charleston weather is slowly killing me

Be careful in my darkness
These shadows come alive
Hostile hands hold me down
As the light drains from my eyes
All these days I swim in gray
Black and white won't kill the pain
And it's a scary place
When it feels like you're digging another's grave
Digging another's grave

Did my words make it worthless
The truth intoxicating the faithless
I went as far as I could go
Just to spite you
I can see the moonlight through the trees
Slipping into self-destructive memories
Holy Ghost haunt my soul

A hundred burning flowers
Couldn't keep me warm
Even in the coldest December storm
Is this all I'll ever be
This Charleston weather is slowly killing me

Be careful in my darkness
These shadows come alive
Hostile hands hold me down
As the light drains from my eyes
All these days I swim in gray
Black and white won't kill the pain
And it's a scary place
When it feels like you're digging another's grave
Digging another's grave

Show me who I really am
These demons aren't my own
Shatter my heart to a genesis
All these empty words and broken promises
I'm not a saint or an angel
But I'm working on it every day
Let's toast to our future hearts
I hope you find you in a better way
Show me who I really am
These demons aren't my own
Shatter my heart to a genesis
All these empty words and broken promises
I'm not a saint or an angel
But I'm working on it every day
So let's toast to our future hearts
I hope they find you in a better way
So let's toast to our future hearts
I hope they find you in a better way
