A better son/daughter

A better son/daughter Lyrics

Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and canÂ’t move
Awake but cannot open my eyes
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs
I know I canÂ’t breathe
And I hope someone will save me this time
And your motherÂ’s still calling you insane
And I swear that itÂ’s different this time
And you tell her TO give in to the demons that possess her and that god never
blessed her insides
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
Crawl back into bed to dream of a time when your heart was open wide
And you loved things just because
Like the sick and the dying
And sometimes when youÂ’re on
YouÂ’re really f**king on
And your friends they sing along
And they love you
But the lows are so extreme
That the good seems f**king cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence
But youÂ’ll fight and youÂ’ll make it through
YouÂ’ll fake it if you have to
And youÂ’ll show up for work with a smile
And youÂ’ll be better
And youÂ’ll be smarter
And more grown up and a better daughter or son
And a real good friend
And youÂ’ll be awake
YouÂ’ll be alert
YouÂ’ll be positive though it hurts
And youÂ’ll laugh and embrace all your friends
And youÂ’ll be a real good listener
YouÂ’ll be honest
YouÂ’ll be brave
YouÂ’ll be handsome and youÂ’ll be beautiful
YouÂ’ll be happy

Your ship may be coming in
YouÂ’re weak but not giving in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
And your ship may be coming in
YouÂ’re weak but not giving in
And youÂ’ll fight it
YouÂ’ll go out fighting all of themÂ….
