Splinter - A Better Place lyrics

rate me

I'd like to tell you a story<br />

Come sit with me here by the sea<br />

I can't promise it wont be a long one<br />

But I need you here to listen to me<br />

I can't make sense of all that I'm feeling<br />

& I don't expect you to understand<br />

But when you're feeling like nothing else matters...<br />

You're asking me all the wrong questions<br />

Its true that you don't understand<br />

But I can't help the way that I'm thinking<br />

And I know that you're mad but don't cry if you can<br />

Don't think that I'm being an outcast<br />

Or just another teenage whore<br />

Cos if I knew of some other way out there<br />

I wouldn't be with you now up here up high up on<br />

Some people say there is but one way out<br />

I disagree can't you hear me shout<br />

I'm sick of the looks and I'm sick of the stares<br />

I'm sick of the ones that glance into the air<br />

I'm sick of those tight-fisted wannabe fucks<br />

How can you love when you're sick of yourself?<br />

I'm sick of the looks that I'm getting<br />

Cos I'm the only one with enough balls to be brave<br />

I'm sicker than sick of just feeling this way<br />

Thinking that there must be something that's better that's out there<br />

What is out there???<br />

Nothing is out there...<br />

-<br />

I'd like to sit by the ocean,<br />

Curl up with a needle or 2<br />

I think that you know what I'm getting at...
