Lyrics

Better (For Esther)

Ever onward

After Esther

All my ancestors

Names on paper

Later make their

Earthly layover

Feed me fiction

I will know you better

Better, better, better

Ever after

I outlast her

Mastering the veil

Flee the vultures

I will know you better

Better, better, better

Ever onward

After Esther

All my ancestors

Now and ever

I will know you better

Better, better, better
