Phileas - Better Days Lyrics

I have been hoping for a different kind of tune
Looking with despair and the eyes of the fools
I wanted something new in everything that I sing
But I realize slowly, it's just the same old thing
But I know better than to lay my arms down
For I know better days, better days
Better days are bound to come
I have discarded what I thought was too cowed
Banned from my songs what might have made another man quite proud
But still I get the feeling, for crying out loud
That I'm doing nothing but what I am allowed to
But I know better than to lay my arms down
For I know better days, better days
Better days are bound to come
I have been rambling on purity far too long
Thinking there can be atonement, in the perfection of a song
Some sort of cure for a world gone wrong
But I realize slowly, it's just the same old song
But I know better than to lay my arms down
For I know better days, better days
When everything's done
Everybody goes home
And there's only one
Who's sitting there alone
And he's thinking of you
And he'd wish you'd known
Only wish you knew
That there have been few
Who loved you like I love you
So I keep roaming this no-man's land full of omens of defeat
Meandering undefeated, standing helpless but with creed
Seeking a voice to heed, something quite unique
And I realize hopefully, I'm not that alone indeed
But I know better than to lay my arms down
For I know better days, better days
Better days are bound to come
Better, better days
Better, better days
Better, better days
I know better days, better days
Better days are bound to come
