Better Days

Some dark lyrics

well I've seen much better days          
As I fix you with a steely gaze                    
Never see the fear in my eyes                    
Hidden behind my thin disguise                    

I've seen much better days
My mind is like a field ablaze
This bottle's my life, my vice
all from the roll of a dice

I played the game, I took the chance
Never gave the odds a second glance
They took it all, never showed me pity
So I crawled in a bottle, in the gutter of the city

In the shadows I lay, stripped of pride
The rage and hate that burn inside
through bloodshot eyes I see your life
mirrored back on the edge of a knife

The time of day was all I asked
But you had none to spare, except your last
So I took from you what you wouldn't give
I'm the eternal damned, but still I live

I've seen much better days
I'm just dying in different ways
