Better Places

A year from now we'll all be gone our friends we'll move away We're going to better places but out friends we'll be gone away See he'll be gone with her and she'll be gone with him We'll be looking at a loss blind still searching for a win Fighting for a cause when the odds are looking thin With mixed emotions in our guts going out on a whim Trying to die as a saint but living in sin As opportunities are few and far between looking slim The negatives outside outweighing the positives within So the fire in our hearts is fading fast like a fin Disappearing in the distance of the ocean to a hymn A time will come to phone a friend and then the next of kin To deliver a message that no one should ever have to bring That would place a lump in the throat of a peasant or a king And leave them wishing that the answers they received where left blowing in the wind So the questions that they asked never existed to begin If in a year from now my success in a breath is death And your left to fend for yourself in this mess Remember to live in the moment without regret A year from now we'll all be gone our friends we'll move away We're going to better places but out friends we'll be gone away I could be standing at the top looking down on the drop Or laying at the bottom looking up in a knot Body bent limbs spent beginning to rot From the inside out until my heart stops I could pay for a plot of land in cash regardless of the cost And have a custom house built upon it and employ a made to clean the lot Or find myself in her position with the bucket and the mop Working for some pompous prick who thinks he's fucking god Who's wife is home alone while his assistant get's him off In an apartment where he houses her and she has no idea he's got I could be sitting on a tour bus or at the wheel for my job Running my own restaurant or standing stagnant cleaning pots Drifting through life in a dingy or cruising toward death in a yacht Or on an island in the distance that the land of time forgot If in a year from now my success in a breath is death And your left to fend for yourself in this mess Remember to live in the moment without regret A year from now we'll all be gone our friends we'll move away We're going to better places but out friends we'll be gone away
