Someone Better

from Sluggerhand by a truth called nothing

/

lyrics

I'd write you letters 'bout my hopes and fears
I'd send them in envelopes from Credit Suisse
Stories 'bout walking along a lake in a city of rejects
A place between essence and descent

There was beauty in the imminence
There was nobility in awe
You were an angel before the light
And I can't help crying because all I want is your smile

I'm coming up, only to see you
I'm coming up, only to be with you
For a short while
For a short while

When every murmur has been heard
And every phrasing has been used
Trying to breathe life in something you know was stillborn

But it's hard to distinguish what really matters, in whom you can really trust
Clinging on to a thought that should have lived many years ago
But you never want to hear that you were someone better before
God knows that brings me down
You say you don't love someone new
I can't say the same: I'm in love with no one special
But when you were here with me, the singers kept on singing
But when days turn to weeks turn to months
It's hard to tell apart what really matters and who to trust
You never want to know, you were someone better before

I love that smile
Too bad for me; I couldn't see it before she turned me down
The scrutiny of the gratefulness
But you're always the angel before the light

I came, only to see you
I came, only to be with you
For a short while
For a short while

I'm coming up, only to see you
I'm coming up, only to be with you
I came, only to see you
I came, only to be with you
For a short while
For a short while
For a short while

The European atheist art-rock band, a truth called nothing, is made up of contrasts: they combine hi-i with lo-fi, death with joy. They have been active since the new millenium began, collaborating heavily with the european movement to legalize assisted suicide, as well as emerging at the forefront of the online phenomenon "Borgarkrossarna" ("The Bourgeois Breakers"). ... more
