When you're feeling better than yesterday The liquid sugary syrup on your fingers dries before you wash it And the feeling of nothing feels like an old song you heard somewhere on MTV Or somewhere hidden behind a magazine same as the one you read yesterday but different When you are not saddened by the dead in people Other times when it's not unbearable to hear them sing When you feel free to ask, and borders are clay that the child in you could tear apart Yet you sit tight over distance, hovering your eyes over the dry wall And counting sheep or rage against some machine without feelings.

Better than
When you're feeling better than yesterday The liquid sugary syrup on your fingers dries before you wash it And the feeling of nothing feels like an old song you heard somewhere on MTV Or somewhere hidden behind a magazine same as the one you read yesterday but different When you are not saddened by the dead in people Other times when it's not unbearable to hear them sing When you feel free to ask, and borders are clay that the child in you could tear apart Yet you sit tight over distance, hovering your eyes over the dry wall And counting sheep or rage against some machine without feelings.
