Better Off
Twentythree Lyrics

I know i′d be better off inside an open grave
I feel so overwhelmed and burdened by life that death seems like a preferable option.

and I can see my flaws they're burning hole onto the pavement
My shortcomings and mistakes are so obvious and painful that they feel like they're scorching the ground beneath me.

I don′t have the time for all that talk and conversation
I'm exhausted by trying to communicate and connect with others, and I just want to be left alone.

No they'll never find me underground I think i'm changing
Even though I feel like I want to hide from everyone and everything, I also sense that I'm going through a personal transformation.

I need space where I can be alone
I crave solitude and isolation from the noise and stress of the world.

Take a day away and let the silence grow
I want to step back from my usual routine and obligations and allow myself some peace and quiet.

Welcome all the pain I hope it never shows
I'm willing to confront and endure any emotional or mental anguish I may have, but I don't want others to see my vulnerability.

That i′m a waste of time so let my body go
I believe that I'm not valuable or worthy, so I don't see the point in trying to preserve myself.

See a snake in the grass cut the head off
I'm aware of the deceptive people and situations around me, and I'm willing to take swift and direct action to eliminate their threat.

I′ve been dead wrong dead weight till my breath drop
I've made a lot of mistakes and my struggles have been weighing me down for a long time, to the point of feeling like suffocation.

Guess it's too late too long and it seems lost
I fear that it's too late to turn my life around and that I've already made too many irreversible mistakes.

Never been safe no saved never find a way to make it stop
I've never truly felt secure or protected, and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to make my problems go away.
