Better Dark Than Dim

This one’s a little dark 

but better dark than dim 

so you go console her 

while I tear into him


They tell me my creativity is a wonder 

Yeah as in I’ve had so little success I wonder why I still do it


I know I’m a dreamer but when I wake up I know what’s real 

its all far better than in any of those bad dreams


Don’t look at me in that tone of voice

The man left me with no other choice 

but to stand and tear into him

better dark than dim

better dark than dim


I set my bars high so they’re easy to walk under

You wouldn’t want to hit your head on one of those

my shins take the brunt of yours every day so I know 


Don’t look at me in that tone of voice

The man left me with no other choice 

but to stand and tear into him

better dark than dim 


Our differences are where all the flavor lies

funny enough, the flavored lie is how they keep us apart


Don’t look at me in that tone of voice

The man left me with no other choice 

but to stand and tear into him

better dark than dim

Behind The Song...

Better Dark Than Dim

Sometimes I visit my song and lyric junkyard and pull some random parts out. One of the random parts says follow me, becomes the title and the rest of the bits fall into line and become a song.
