Adam Watts - Something Better Lyrics

I look, I feel, I listen
i'm only hearing my own voice
the echo of pointless

I try to force my weakness
release imprisoned slaves of choice
i couldn't avoid this

(chorus)
I should be something better
this bird ain't got no feathers
flying straight to the ground
I could be something better
seen through Your eyes forever
floating, holy
leaving lonely alone

A crook, a thief, a liar
an honest man, all rolled in one
in theory i'm perfect

The love i feel is poisoned
by judge and jury in my head
no law is anointed

chorus

(bridge)
I could be wrong, maybe i'm not so bad
and the road's just long
is good luck not what i've had
i'd like to believe this
ingest and recieve this
but i'd be gone if i do
'cause my lies are never true

(verse 3)
I fill my heart with fire
I breathe the smoke of burning pain
desire the cancer

I train my face to play out
the fiction drama every day
i'm left disappointed
