I've been taking my time and holding onto these for a while... just doing my thang in sticking with the snail paced theme. 🐌 🎈
Along with the shinier studio recordings of these tracks, I wanted to capture them live and unfiltered too… This from around August 2023.
A Better Someone - Live at The Bookhouse Studio
Studio EP: Better Late

I am the most proud and also the most sad of this song. I write morbid songs… I guess can’t help it.
Lyrics:
I used to be a better someone to you
I’m calling it out
I know I used to be better
Holding on to something bitter I’m sure
There’s that taste in my mouth
Wishing that I could be better
As it all comes down in some elaborate parade
I see you standing there and you’re always waiting for the fire brigade
I used to be a better someone to you
The truth has come out
I used to care for you better
Maybe you’ve become a mirror of me
And you’re staring me down
Pleading that I won’t forget you
As it always comes down but I have nothing to say
I feel you reaching out for me but I just push you away
With everything that a man could want, you squander, and I can’t bear to see
You can’t keep on, you can't keep on, holding on to lovers and hope you’ll find peace
Oh could it be
That Oh, I
Used to be a better someone….
Oh could it be
That I would be
I swear I’ll be
Oh could it be
That I would be
I swear I’ll be
A massive thanks to everyone involved in the recording of these lives.
