Better ©Jenelle Aubade 2017
I wanna bring the color up into your face
wanna see the human in our race
while the bastards are dancing to some other flute
clouds are passing over trees with no fruit
I balance on one leg, and then on the other
kindness over rated, hatred too much bother
I'll settle for making the wild woman laugh
it used to degrade me, now it's building me back
shake something loose
that's been holding you together
climbing again, you are my friend
I won't let this bother, grow into another bad end
wanna see the color of your face
when we bring truth to the table
eat it all up, damn cain damn abel
launch the codes to make our dna stable
cause I'm tripping over wine n pills n pot
trying to be beautiful and not
forgetting where I come from, it's all a haze
of a planet she spins n I eat up her days
shake something loose
that's been holding you together
reject the news
wait for something better
reject the noose
while we wait for something better
wanna bring the color up into your face
share some moment I can already taste
the air is the sweetest when your voice hits the sky
and even sweeter when I'm the reason why
climbing again, you are my friend
don't let this bother
grow into another bad end
