[Verse 1]
Woke up to that rust gray sky
Same cracked mug
same cold sigh
Breakfast in the sink
still from last night
Phone face down
airplane flight
I scroll past faces
every name feels fake
Room full of ghosts
in this feed I hate
Curtains half closed
so the dark leaks in
I can hear my pulse
like a war within
[Chorus]
It’s better for the dead
Lonely days I always dread
Got me having bad thoughts
all up in my head
Like “would they ever miss me
if I just fled?”
It’s better for the dead
Lonely days I always dread
Got me having bad thoughts
all up in my head
All up in my head
all up in my head
[Verse 2]
Concrete outside
got that bruised blue tone
Neighbors talk loud
still I feel alone
TV on mute
just a flicker on the wall
Empty pizza box
like a flag of the fall
I pace these grooves
in the floor I made
Same four steps
like a slow parade
I tell myself “move”
but I stall instead
Every open door
just another dread
[Chorus]
It’s better for the dead
Lonely days I always dread
Got me having bad thoughts
all up in my head
Like “would they ever miss me
if I just fled?”
It’s better for the dead
Lonely days I always dread
Got me having bad thoughts
all up in my head
All up in my head
all up in my head
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] If this is living
why’s it feel like rust?
Why does every little choice
turn to dust?
I’m screaming in a room
that stays quiet as stone
I’m scrolling through a world
but I rot alone
[growled ad-lib] Rot alone
[Chorus]
It’s better for the dead
Lonely days I always dread
Got me having bad thoughts
all up in my head
Like “would they ever miss me
if I just fled?”
It’s better for the dead
Lonely days I always dread
Got me having bad thoughts
all up in my head
All up in my head
all up in my head
