Everything I like to do I do better on drugs
Moderation still eludes me, I'm just searching for enough
I'm not sure what a normal state feels like anymore
Always coming up or crashing down, bothl 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 really I'm just sore
Everything I love to do I've started to do more
My laundry is always folded, I cry less in the store
Maybe I'm just nostalgic for my symptoms because
i built them into my identity for so long and and itss just tha
Im not sure what's 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
I don't wanna fight with my brain anymore
I guess I'm worried that the same parts of my mind
that make me an artist are also the chains that bind
Me to my anxieties and my dark ideations
If I'm not in pain then what do I create with?
But 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
It's just hard to organize these feelings when I'm always getting more
I wanna be better, maybe this is it
Cause my steps are a little lighter right after writing this
I'm feeling better, but I'm not sure
But I don't think I'm getting anywhere searching for a cure
I'm gonna be better
I'm gonna be sure
I'm gonna be better
And then I'll be better more
I'm gonna be better
I'm gonna be cured
I'm gonna be better, better than I've ever been before
