Lyrics

See the rock in my hand

Took it from another man

Took it from another plan

A final escape out the back of the door with the swinging handle

Rusty refrigerator that never worked 'cause it was too full

Full of your shit that got moldy 'cause there was too much moisture

In the air, in the air (ah)

Look into my eyes and tell me that I'm lying, that I'm lying

Better than, better than (better than)

B-b-b-b-better than, better than most

Look me in the eye and say that I am blind and searching

'Cause it's all alone (oh, oh), better than (oh)

B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-better than most

(B-better than, oh)

Condescending, underlying

Under tension, underlying, in I dug

Lick it up without my fingers and lock in a ride (oh)

It's your body, it's your liking

If your water was a luxury, then I ain't gonna wanna want it no more

Want it no more, 'cause I'm

B-b-b-b-better than that

And though I knew, I -

And though I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew

And though I knew it, did that shit anyway

Took the course anyway, yeah (yeah)

I don't take it back, I don't go back there

I don't take that back for nothing (take that back for nothing)

Got my life on it, got my life on it

'Cause I'm b-b-b-b-better than that (better than that)

B-b-b-b-better than that

(Better than that, better than that)

Ripped the curtain off the blinds

Ripped the curtain off the blinds

Let the light in, let the light in

The black light aligns with my sins of yesterday

But I wouldn't, but I wouldn't, but I wouldn't do it differently

Differently, differently than it

Thin it into lines, gonna drip this into time

When you drip this into life

Life, life, line

Cut it any differently, I'm

Seeping 'round in my head, I am taking a clover

Acting alone, I am taking it over

Taking the L on this one

Taking the L on this one time

Smoke a blunt to the face

Just so I couldn't get over the things that I knew

That I didn't know (one)

Took an L on this one, I swear

Ooh, I swear

And I took, and I took, and I took, and I took

And I shoved, and I pushed

And I shoved, and I pushed

And I shoved, and I pushed, and I shoved

B-b-b-better than

B-b-b-better than rest

(B-b-better than) rest (b-b-better than)

What's better than, better than rest? (That, that, that, that)

(B-b-b-better than that, that, that, that)
