Better Than Your Nature

Something didn't hit me right When I caught your eye Cause what underlies is "How can you be useful?" Counting down to an awful line Some strange insight A perceived slight Threadbare and hopeful Your simpler days Are long gone You lament the falling silt And the strangled tones Calling from the underworld You know just where you went wrong And the gears that turned you there But can you... Be better than your nature? Can you be better than your nature? Better than your nature Shame you came all this way I don't have the gift to give you From your registry I can only follow so far I'm not your missing piece An NPC with the story beat An extra picked from the crowd And granted a few lines (hooray) To add on to your mystique Strange, you took all the time To know the blocks that built you And all you learned Is how the world has done you wrong Now you co-opt the words That were said to help you And all you've done Is shout 'em from the rooftops down In the new jack style Guess I stepped on a point of pride Your mask is bright But it's in the eyes Something is brewing Count up all the ways we die Til we get right Something inside Doesn't want to let you go You tied yourself onto The masts of giants And your surprised when No one knows just what you are You measure your worth On how your name gets flying You've done alright But can you... Be better than you nature? Can you be better than your nature? Better than your nature Better than your nature
