RILO KILEY lyrics : "A Better Son / Daughter"

Sometimes in the morning i am petrified and can't move
Awake but cannot open my eyes
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs i know i can't breath

And hope someone will help me this time
Your mother's still calling you insane and high
Swearing it's different this time

And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
And that godnever blessed her insides
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things

And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
Like the sick and the dying


And sometimes when you're on you're really $#&@ing on
And your friends they sing along and they love you

But the lows are so extreme that the good seems $#&@ing cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absense
But you'll fight and you'll make it through

You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
And you'll be be better you'll be smarter

More grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert

You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
And you'll be a real good listener

You'll be honest you'll be brave
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy


Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in

To the cries and the wails of the valley below
Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in

And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them...
