N̙ͫ͝ǎ͉͘t̴̟͗ẗ̨̮́y͓̋͏ Somewhere better is an album that touches your heart in the rawest way possible. The singer has a voice that speaks so deeply about love and you can feel his passion through his masterful lyrics. For those who forgot what it's like to feel, this album brings back a nostalgic feeling of happiness, lonliness, emptiness, changes in life, & evolving as a person.

Can't handle the news today You know it's all the same They read their headlines, they meet their deadlines but inside they're all dead When I tried to find her, she was quite a fighter You know she wouldn't be found When I wrote that letter, things got better As good as they ever, could get You know your mother, my former lover She was always filled with regret Can't handle the news today You know it's all the same They read their headlines, they meet their deadlines but inside they're all dead It's all black and white, she lost her fight, with cancer now she lies below We all sit still, and he reads her will Oh a jacket is all that is left Can't handle the news today, we know its all the same Used to be all black and white Now chaos comes in rain Goodbye forever, you're somewhere better Better than you were in pain.

The last time I saw you We were both 16 With no sense of direction and low self esteem and now that years have passed You've flowered and grown Well I assure you darling I'm the same man you've always known Time will make fools of us and I'm still no better Still my long black hair and a flannel sweater and maybe someday we'll focus on a plan just you and me baby we will try our best to understand That time will make fools of us and I'm still no better Still my long black hair and a flannel sweater

All my life I've, searched for you And when I found you, somehow I knew that I would give you , all that I have Just to show you, that I am your man Craving, and waiting on a love so unique I know you are, the one for me cause You showed me the way You're always here to stay Can't live another day (Without you) The sun don't shine in may (Without you) I don't see a reason (Without you) To live another season (Without you) Careful, cause now you're , you're in too deep and if I dream more, then I might be asleep and if I wake up, please put me back Cause my world without you, it seems so black cause You showed me the way You're always here to stay Can't live another day The sun don't shine in may (Without you) I don't see a reason (Without you) To live another season (Without you)

A question I have to ask Has it always been like this I've never felt so comfortable just happy to exist now you tell me theres a reason a reason for your frown well darling I'd pick up it all to get out of this town lets just run away start brand new fuck all these assholes baby its me and you but... You don't even know me So babe lets not forget smiling at you was the least of my regrets at least I could be depended on at least I could be depended on And everyday we're striving for Another new place to carry on ,well... I just wanted to believe That everyone gets what they want to achieve Let's just run away Start brand new and find a new place that we belong to but... you don't even know me at least lets not pretend I just wanted someone new to hold on to the ending of to hold on to the end of it all to hold on to ....the end to hold on to ....the end the end....of it all run away , start brand new, baby lets pretend. run away , start brand new, baby lets pretend.

We put the blood onto the page Life doesn't always have to be so strange We'll take the letters out and re-arrange We'll put the queue next to you and we'll fade out , fade out again Yeah , we'll fade out , fade out again Yeah , we'll fade out , fade out again Yeah, you've got nothing left for me Nothing that I, can see Yeah, you've got nothing left for me Yeah, you've got nothing left for me You used to be so very close You were the person that I wanted the most Now I don't know who you are This parody of you has gone way too far And now the people that you see They don't even seem like they're comparable to me Used to be the closest person to me Now your lifes a parody Now you've got nothing left for me Now you've got nothing left for me You know, it's kind of funny After all this time You think you know someone and then they change And after all this time , that you spend together You grow...and whether its growing together or growing apart and it doesn't always have to be for the better but I feel like , I don't even know you anymore and now I'm seeing other people and so are you and I'm happy, this girl, makes me so happy... and you know what? We're not even together yet.. but I'm happier than I was before.. Maybe someday , you and I ...Could at least be civil but I wish you the best, I really do.

about

After almost ten years of working on this shit it's basically done. The first song on this album dates all the way back to 2006 and the last track being written in February. This is such a huge relief to finally get it done.
