Locust - Better Days Lyrics

Better days
Better days
I've had better days
I've
I've had better days
I've had better days
Better days
Better days
I've had better days
I've
I've had better days
I've had better days
And when I wake I pray for second chances
I pray for exits and plans
Pray for the question's answers
Pray I'ma take the next step
Advancing to better standards
Say I'm blessed, I guess
But I'm just a man with some extra canvas
I set a fire to the mesh in the mic
Spit a line and I let it rest for the rest of the night
My breath is ambers
But I don't dance, and my temper's cancer
So they don't respect my stance or my style
My potential's slandered
My efforts candid
I've worked my flesh to the bone
Stared death in the dome
Shared bread with most brethren I know
In the booth I catch emotions
Using sweat from my soul
Though in truth
I've probably met the highest level I'll go
Uh
But hanging up ain't an option
My drive pull me
Like I don't even write to the beat
It just talks to me
If I don't leave a mark
I believe at least I've embarked on my dream
But I'm caught between reason's
And people I've lost seeking
Better days
Better days
I've had better days
I've
I've had better days
I've had better days
Better days
Better days
I've had better days
I've
I've had better days
I asked myself
What if I died today
What I'ma leave behind for mine
And my response was "why" I sighed
And said I'm trying to find a way
All the wasted time behind me
Left my memory kind of grey
Always knew my grave was marked
Just never thought what mine would say
That's my mistake
I'm working on my flaws
But some are just a part of me
I ever said I'm perfect I was wrong
But I can feel the current
As it surges through my arm
While the verses fit my words into a song
My purpose never wanders
The process is never still
I turned against my conscience
Told my heart to take the wheel
And now I'm lost in the field
And most days it's like I'm walking on stilts
Think I was tossed too many cards on the deal
For real
Ain't much to you, but
Well, what do you love
Picture it slip from your fingers
Tell me that you'd just give up
On something fused in your blood
On what been true to you since you was a cub
Whatever happen, I'ma choose it above
Just trying to find my way to
Better days
Better days
I've had better days
I've
I've had better days
I've had better days
Better days
Better days
I've had better days
I've
I've had better days
I've had better days
Nobody care, nobody cry for me
I've been the best that I could be
If I could leave my past behind me, I'd be free
Be free to fly to see the sky at least
Though I'm steady seeking a higher reach
Man all my life I've been a fighter
I feel like I'm tired of preaching
Then at the same time I been trying to eat
So let me get to this rhyme
That's been sitting inside of me
I've been itching to let you in
On this quieter side I keep
And it's like
The silent treatment decided to try to speak
At night I'm sleepless
My eyelids at peak as I lie and weep
It seem that leaving this life
Feeling right this entire week
Momma, how I'm supposed to write
When the only light that I've seen ain't in sight
I'm holding tight but how long can I clench
I'm weighing odds and ends
Now it's just common sense that I walk away
And what's really worth what's left
Of my time on this earth
If my welcome's overstayed
All I can do is pray for better days
