Name: Better Life
Duration: P00H03M24S
Description: This one always had a real demo quality that I liked . Built around a rather simple riff and an attempt to be a little "punky." Definitely unpolished. I've tried re-recording and re-doing this, and it doesn't have the same energy. So, flawed as it is, it stands.

lyrics

Nothin' seems to work no more
No matter how I try
There ain't nothin' I can do about it
Since I changed my life for you
I'm a pilgrim on the way
Life is good, there ain't no doubt about it

Well, and I can see beyond the lies
To a better life
And I can be what you
Ant me to be

Peeling back my layers of sin
And guilt and loathing too
Replace it with a love and will to do
Changeling I have now become
I am not my own
The will that governs me is right from you

Everything I have is yours
In truth I own nothing
All is the gift of stewardship to you
The Earth, the air, the sea, and all
Is not ours to destroy
"Dominion" doesn't mean that we can kill
