Old Man of the Woods - Better Lyrics

I don't know what to say
When my mom tells me to be kind
To go easy on the pain
I don't think that day's so far away
Anymore
My dad asks if I'm okay
Says that beauty grows in dark places
But light can feed the same
And it's warm
Three weeks ago
I learned my mind is not my soul
And I've been feeling better
Knowing this is not forever
Knowing I could learn control
Thousands of ways I want to change
Thought I'd try it all at once
Just open up and be done
Bring me back down to earth I'm spiraling in mist and moonbeams
It's better than the dirt
But it's work
Three weeks ago
I learned my mind is not my soul
And I've been feeling better
Knowing this is not forever
A year ago
I threw my whole into the pit
Begging for forgiveness
Begging for direction
I'm not ashamed anymore
Not to blame anymore
We don't know what life's for
I've been feeling better
Knowing this is not forever
Knowing I could learn control

I don't know what to say
When my mom tells me to be kind
To go easy on the pain
I don't think that day's so far away
Anymore
My dad asks if I'm okay
Says that beauty grows in dark places
But light can feed the same
And it's warm
Three weeks ago
I learned my mind is not my soul
And I've been feeling better
Knowing this is not forever
Knowing I could learn control
Thousands of ways I want to change
Thought I'd try it all at once
Just open up and be done
Bring me back down to earth I'm spiraling in mist and moonbeams
It's better than the dirt
But it's work
Three weeks ago
I learned my mind is not my soul
And I've been feeling better
Knowing this is not forever
A year ago
I threw my whole into the pit
Begging for forgiveness
Begging for direction
I'm not ashamed anymore
Not to blame anymore
We don't know what life's for
I've been feeling better
Knowing this is not forever
Knowing I could learn control
