Tears In Rain - Better Me

Her dream-song of immortality
Infinite energy
Was my boundless battery

Her reason, relentless not to cease
Filled my mind’s every crease
Her never-ending sea

Her seasons, so deeply enthralling
Kept me ever falling
She’s ever flowing free

Her freedom was clear for all to see
And I almost believed
She’d build a better me

But tiger might tamed
And I remained still ashamed
My brightness waned
I was blamed
Then grew faint

My might now gone astray
Feared she might now turn away
Tied her, teathered
Clipped each feather
Each storm was weathered
With hope still to get her
Something better
…Me

But might things be better
by you than with me
better see

Or would it b be better
should both you and me
let her be

Still she might feel better
with you than me-
better be

For she keeps still the letters
from you that did plead:
‘better me’

So, she says she believed,
And will still when she
goes, too,

She’ll leave
So’s too
Better

Better me
