lyrics

There are those of us who'd say
We're often better off that way.
But I myself would never make
A statement of such weight
And be absolutely sure of it.
For how quick we are to forget
The people we've hurt are often so
Quick to remember it.

Remember first the first time we were out too late sitting on my stairs.
It feels like a million lighter years away from here.
Oh, I never guessed how heavy it could get.
I never practiced my apologies
The way I do these days.
But I'd like to say
I'm better off that way.

But am I better off for a lack of sleep,
Kept awake by counting sheep,
Because there had to be an end to them?
There had to be.
When I was twelve years old I was scared to death of the thought of the never-
endingness of heaven.
Anything that's never-ending could never be
Absolutely perfect for me.
So if I can't stand ends and I'm scared to begin,
What option does that leave?
Oh, that question was endless, too, it seemed.

So here's to friends I've thrown away.
Here's to enemies I've begged to stay.
And here's to tired, never-ending conversations with the ceiling of my room,
Because when it ends too soon,
I'll never get a chance to say,
"maybe we're better off that way."
Mayve we're better that way.

The Taxpayers were able to put down a tacklist of songs that allow us to go on a journey. In this album we experience the manic highs and lows one may experience in a life long battle with deteriorating mental health. The picture at times grim and beautiful is one I continually come back to as its tragedy never fades. Ulysses Johnson
