Better Than This

There goes another one he never had a chance
But we can't look away-we're frozen in a trance
I can't hear you any more
It's just shouting What's the yelling for?

Ring the bells of discontent on Codependence Day
Strange voices call to us and take our breath away

Forget the Liberty
It's travesty or death
Dark clouds are gathered now
A pain behind the threats

Had a broken heart it was better than this
Laid a friend to rest it was better than this

True power lies in wait
Shared between us all
It lies inside of us, and waits for us to call

Better than this
We're Better Than This
I've seen he things that we can do
I know what's up and so do you

We stand upon the very edge, we tempt ourselves to leap
The thunder cracks the ocean roars we hear it in our sleep
We're haunted by the feeling that we've failed once again
We steel ourselves to stand up straight and be a better man
