[Verse 1]

My self-depravity

A stark duality

Stare into the black (Black, black)

Depressive reality

A masochist who can't feel a thing

The paradox is suffocating me

[Chorus]

Well, it gets better, but it feels like it's worse

Because I'm tethered to the past, it's a curse

I know it's better, but I think it gets worse

Until they put me in the dirt

[Bridge 1]

'Cause every day that I should wake up grateful

I'm pulled back into a negative space

Still fear I'm not enough

Failure stitchеd in my seams

It's all fiction

Horrific depiction

Violent condition

[Chorus]

Wеll, it gets better, but it feels like it's worse

Because I'm tethered to the past, it's a curse

I know it's better, but I think it gets worse

Until they put me in the dirt

Or can I ever overcome it and learn?

Do I endeavor to retain all my hurt?

I know it's better, but I think it gets worse

Until they put me in the dirt

[Bridge 2]

I can't live up to what you want from me

I'm not enough, failure stitched in my seams

[Chorus]

Well, it gets better, but it feels like it's worse

Because I'm tethered to the past, it's a curse

I know it's better, but I think it gets worse

Until they put me in the dirt

Well, it gets better, but it feels like it's worse

Because I'm tethered to the past, it's a curse

I know it's better, but I think it gets worse

Until they put me in the dirt

Or can I ever overcome it and learn?

Do I endeavor to retain all my hurt?

I know it's better, but I think it gets worse

Until they put me in the dirt
