Better
Makari Lyrics

I'm still in the pool You left me in And I thought it'd be cool To be Melted down To be water on the ground You could walk on or swim through
I am still stuck in the same place you left me in, and even though it's tough, I imagined it might be beneficial to liquefy and become a part of the ground, allowing you to walk or swim through me as you please.

Here I am at the top again Dreaming that you let me in Talk me down, talk me down Talk me down
I find myself back in the same situation once more, having dreams that you'll accept me into your life. I need someone to bring me down from these hopes and level me with reality.

We leave our marks on things That will never be ours The streets are scarred The trees are carved
As we go through life, we inevitably leave our influence on the world, but these things will never fully belong to us. The pavement and trees carry evidence of our past actions, but they will continue to exist long after we're gone, outlasting even our memory.

With names that glow like Diamond rings on one knee In a nice restaurant
The names we carve or write in public places are our attempt to make our existence known or to express our feelings. To some, it's a grand gesture, like proposing with a sparkling diamond, but in reality, it's like a cheap knockoff version produced in a substandard setting.

I'm better now Those dreams are gone
I've grown wiser over time and am no longer held back by those old aspirations, having accepted their futility.

Fading faster In the picture you took of us Just the two of us
The memory of us together is slowly vanishing, much like how photographs fade over time, including the one where we were together.

There's no future in This phantom limb I've sown to us
This transparent and non-physical form is not going to be sustainable for us in the future, as it has no real substance, and ultimately will not produce the feelings and outcomes that we need in our lives.

And there's a little spot where I Let you in Now it's a vacant lot Where your name never washes off
There was a time when I allowed you to be a part of my life, and even though you're gone now, it's like a vacant lot that will always hold the memory of the temporary times you were present, a place that won't allow me to forget about you.

Cause I thought it'd be you And me Circling infinity
I long believed that it would just be you and me together for eternity, going around and around in a never-ending cycle.

Here I am at a loss again Starving for oxytocin Talk me down, talk me down
Once again, I find myself at a loss, craving the closeness that my body once experienced, which is now lacking, and I need someone to bring me back to reality and away from this intense desire.
