Better

Cast a shadow I have grown Day by day, I know it all gets better, gets better Brick by brick to build me up Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better) Gets better (better, better, better) Mental Health rooted deep in my family tree We planted seeds in a toxic society I break my bones I get rushed to the doctors If I break my mind I hide that shit inside my hurt locker Become the best actor, I know genders a factor We say we ain't affected, until our minds infected Until my sister and my brother-in-law Be sleeping on my floor, 'Cause there's no way to be sure If I'm gon' make it through the night Out like a light, I don't know if I'm alright Suicide on my mind, all the time Jesus Christ They check my drawers for knives I ain't got the tools To go and make it through this life, through this strife She hold my hand and told me it's gon' be ok She took me to the doctors told me not to be afraid Sitting in waiting rooms without any room to wait I don't know if I'm gon' make another day Cast a shadow I have grown Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better) Gets better (better, better, better) Brick by brick to build me up Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better) Gets better (better, better) (Vocalising) It all gets better (better) (Vocalising) Gets better (better) (Vocalising) It all gets better (better) (Vocalising) Gets better (better) I would man up and be ok (yeah) But I ain't gon' make another day I'm sitting in front of therapists not knowing what to say Accepting that I'm weak is really what made me brave I won't ever beat this shit no way it can be defeated You don't wake up without it You just learn to live with it You just learn a different way to process things up in your brain It ain't really that simple progress produces pain Some days I didn't think I'd make it through Running 'round without a clue Stuck in sorrow like it's glue It get's better where's the proof? Hard to recognise change When you are you every day Everyday becomes mundane Looking back, I know that I been making strides Everyday it's an accomplishment I'm still alive So today I celebrate the pain we overcame I know it's not gone, but we still remain Cast a shadow I have grown Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better) Gets better (better, better, better) Brick by brick to build me up Day by day, I know it all gets better (better, better) Gets better (better, better) (Vocalising) It all gets better (better) (Vocalising) Gets better (better) (Vocalising) It all gets better (better) (Vocalising) Gets better (better) Better (better, better, better) Better (better, better, better) Better (better, better, better) Better (better, better)
