Better Side of Afterlife versuri

Versuri Ellis Piper – Better Side of Afterlife lyrics

Lately I can’t sleep at night
It plays on loop, the tape rewinds
The terror on their faces
And I just can’t erase it
Lately I’ve been having dreams
They’re all the same familiar scene
And I still wake up crying
Happens all the time, now

It pushes down like water
And I can barely breathe
It’s taken lambs to slaughter
And it’s set its sights on me
Father, please forgive me
Mother, come and get me, I’m so scarеd
I’ll be good, I swear

I try to be morе patient and I try to be more kind
The things I’ve done when I was young still double-cross my mind
I doubt I’ll go to heaven, I don’t know, but still I try
To be someone who sees the better side of afterlife
To be someone who sees the better side of afterlife

Lately I’ve been spending time
With boys I swore I’d sooner die
Then see again, I’m crazy
I think my friends would hate me
Lately I’ve been pacing floors
Throwing punches, breaking doors
And I remember clearly
Wouldn’t feel safe near me

I push it back like poison
Then don’t know why I choke
I’m sick of all this noise and
I don’t know where to go
Father, please forgive me
Mother, come and get me, I’m so scared
I’ll be good, I swear

I try to be more patient and I try to be more kind
The things I’ve done when I was young still double-cross my mind
I doubt I’ll go to heaven, I don’t know, but still I try
To be someone who sees the better side of afterlife
To be someone who sees the better side

But then what happens when the morning comes and it’s not better
What happens when the whole world sees my scarlet letter
What happens when my soul is weighed against a feather
And it sinks down, I’m doomed forever
Morning comes and I’m not better

The things I’ve done when I was young still double-cross my mind
I doubt I’ll go to heaven, I don’t know, but still I try
To be someone who sees the better side of afterlife
To be someone who sees the better side of afterlife
