lyrics

everything i like to do, i do better on drugs
moderation still eludes me
i'm just searching for enough
and i'm not sure what a normal state feels like anymore
i'm always coming up or crashing down both prices i've paid for

getting better
getting fixed
i'm medicated or i feel like shit
is this better?
am i cured?
thought i'd feel stronger but i'm just sore

everything i love to do, i've started to do more
my laundry is always folded and i cry less in the store
maybe i'm just nostalgic for my symptoms because
i built them into my identity for so long but its just

i'm not sure what's better
but i don't feel fixed
i guess it's naive to get pharmaceuticals and expect true loves kiss
but i wanna be better
i wanna be cured
and i don't wanna fight with my brain anymore

i wanna be better
i wanna be cured
i don't wanna fight with my brain anymore

guess im worried that the same parts of my mind
that make me an artist are also chains that bind me
to my anxieties and my dark ideations
if i'm not in pain then what do i create with?

and i wanna be better, but maybe i don't need to be fixed
what if broken was a strong word
and i'm really not that sick
'cause i feel a bit better
if far from cured

i can't organize these feelings when i'm always getting more

i wanna be better
i wanna be cured
and i don't wanna fight with my brain anymore

i wanna be better
i'm gonna do better
i've gotta get better
i wanna be better

but everything i like to do, i do better on drugs
