Lyrics

The Better Life

[Verse 1]

Well, I’m about to be on the floor again

Surely you’re gonna find me here

Well, I’m about to sleep until the end of time

Drug I take gonna wake my fear right now

[Chorus]

I’m passing away onto the better life

I’m passing away onto the better

[Verse 2]

Well, I'm about to see just how far I can fly

Surely you're gonna break my fall

Well, I'm about to run as fast as I can

Headlong into that wall this time

[Chorus]

I’m passing away onto the better life

I’m passing away onto the better

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Onto the better life

Onto the better

[Verse 1]

I'm about to be on the floor again

Surely you're gonna find me here

Well, I'm about to sleep until the end of time

Drug I take gonna wake my fear right now

[Chorus]

I’m passing away onto the better life

I’m passing away onto the better

I’m passing away onto the better life

I’m passing away onto the better

Onto the better
