about

Better is about self-acceptance. Facing demons, breaking down barriers and being more honest and kind.

We've really struggled during the Covid-19 pandemic, losing 2 members as well as momentum. We're picking ourselves up & carrying on though!

lyrics

Oxide used to shield me
But now I know it’s just rust
Those protecting walls became imprisoning
But now I’ve turned them all into dust

I used to pretend everything was ok
I found it easy to do
All the masks that I had made
Worked so well, they nearly convinced me too

Back when I thought that I was so clever
I only fooled myself
Now I’m trying to pull myself together
I’m working to get well

I used to act like there was nothing wrong
I had no reason to cry
It seems silly now that I went along
Feeling guilty for being alive

I’m feeling better
I’m feeling better now
I know that there are mountains to climb
Stiffer tests and steeper slopes
I know for me that there’s no cure
But now I have ways to cope
Maybe we don’t need miracles
Maybe we just need a bit of hope

I’m trying to make some sense of the world
And of how I was born to be
But I’m changing my ways and making sure
The future’s got a space for me

I used to try anything I could find
To take the edge of the pain of the fight
But I’m facing the demons inside my mind
And dragging them one-by-one into the light

I’m feeling better
I’m feeling better now
I know that there are mountains to climb
Stiffer tests and steeper slopes
I know for me that there’s no cure
But now I have ways to cope
Maybe we don’t need miracles
Maybe we just need a bit of hope
