Thriving Ivory ~ A Better Day
I swallowed all your pain
Couldn't carry on much longer
I let you run away from me
But I still hope that you recognize
My face through all this madness
Life's suicide machine
I know everything's got an ending
But what's that mean for me?
I don't want to know anything 'bout your life
Well I guess that's all a lie
'Cause I love to hear you're peaceful
Though it tears me up inside
Night falls I cannot warn my feet
The yellow stars are crying
For this pile of energy
The reminder of just what it is
I need to feel alive
Do you remember how it feels
Remember anything at all
When sorry's not allowed
She say's I'm lonely
And she falls beneath me
But one thing's always there
That one thing's always me
And I need a better day
Something for the jealousy
With the blue sky and the taste of life
And the silence counts the days
'Til I am gone
And the ghost I leave behind me
Will remind you of a different time
When everything seemed real
As I picked up all these pieces
I'm crossing all my fingers love 'cause
Nothing's ever the same
And it's so hard just to fit it all
I'd give
Anything for another chance
On another day and another time
But for now I pray for rain
Said for now I pray for rain
And I hope these walls between us
Come tumbling down
Gonna tear these walls between us
Gonna tear them down
I can't imagine what it's like
To imagine you with anyone
Do you go to sleep
Do you dream out loud
Do you cry at nights and say
That I need a better day
Something for the jealousy
With the blue sky and the taste of life
When the silence counts the days
'Til I am gone
And the ghost I leave behind me
Will remind you of a different time
When everything seemed grey
And I need a better day
Something for the jealousy
With the blue sky and the taste of life
When the silence counts the days
'Til I am gone
And the ghost I leave behind me
Will remind you of a different time
When everything seemed grey
And I need a better day
This is an Indie band based here in Santa Barbara, and they're amazing. I totally encourage looking them up (they're at
thrivingivory.com). They also have a song called Isabelle which I'm totally using for a story someday....
