Elliot Minor

Better than the Courtroom

Fronting the order,
Pacing down the aisle
I got a conviction;
I guess I'll be here for a while
I'm numbing my feeling;
I know I'm better in denial
I'm crossing out, that life exists
Cos I'm a better liar

I wish I was special,
So I could ride above the law
This silence is deadly,
And now I'm starting to withdraw
I need some substance,
To get me out this door
It's better than the courtroom;
It's better than before

This is killing me
I suffer from a drawn out misery
A future that's run out of energy,
Another day comes undone
I will burn for you,
You were the obsession
We're breaking through;
We're building our aggression
I can't go on knowing that I'm all alone
Knowing that I'm all alone

Suddenly shaking,
My blood levels dropping low
This room is heavy
And there's no future to enrol
I envision tomorrow,
But the pictures all distort
I'm counting all these ups and downs
That threw us overboard
This is the moment,
Air's fleeing from my lungs
Will I get off lightly,
Or will I bleed for what I've done
It's a hell of a fever,
And I'll be better when it's gone
I'm coming down;
I'm breathing hard
Just what we're waiting on

This is killing me
I suffer from a drawn out misery
A future that's run out of energy,
Another day comes undone
I will burn for you,
You were the obsession
We're breaking through;
We're building our aggression
I can't go on knowing that I'm all alone
Knowing that I'm all alone

It's time to change the record
Time to care
Lets burn down the old desire,
Like we were never there
Lets be the better nation,
Lights that flare
Lets burn down the undesired,
Like we were never there

This is killing me
I suffer from a drawn out misery
A future that's run out of energy,
Another comes undone
I will burn for you,
You were the obsession
We're breaking through;
We're building our aggression
I can't go on knowing that I'm all alone
I will burn for you,
You were the obsession
We're breaking through;
we're building our aggression
I can't go on knowing that I'm all alone
Knowing that I'm all alone
