Prompt / Lyrics
[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
