Better Off Dead - Flotsam & Jetsam

Sometimes I feel like just ending it all

Every step a broken leg

Every floor breaks a fall

I can’t only not see light

I can’t find the tunnel

Life keeps giving me an uphill climb

Without a ladder or a rope

Without a prayer or a hope

I can’t only not see light

I can’t find the tunnel

I can’t find my way

Don’t know if I’ll see tomorrow

Or the rest of today

I can’t raise my head

Maybe I’m better off dead

Better off dead

Better off dead

Better off dead

I can’t only not see light I’m better off dead

Every time we try to step ahead, step ahead

There’s a force that holds us down

Holds us back, keeps us in

And I pray every day that things will take a turn

That tomorrow brings me hope

That today will slip away

I can’t only not see light

I can’t close my eyes

I have lost my way

Don’t know about tomorrow

Or the best of today

I won’t raise my head

And so I’m better off dead

Better off dead

Better off dead

Better off dead

I can’t only not see light I’m better off dead

Sometimes I feel like I’ve ended it all

Every step a shooting pain

Every floor breaks a fall

I can’t only not see light I’m better off dead

So stick my body in the ground

And find a priest and gather 'round

And say a little prayer to god

Throw some flowers on the sod 'cause

I will never see the light, I’m better off dead
