Better Days Video (MV)

I've been gone I've been caught up in my yesterdays
I've been drawn by the songs that tell me it's ok
If I've won then tell me why my life has let me stay
My mind my mind has had it's better days

Back before the rain
Back when it was sunny days
Back when living in depression was just nothing but a phase
Back when we were kids holding hands in the shade
Now I can't find the light cause it all turned to gray
I've been living in the past and I feel I can't escape
The whiskey, the pills, the recurrence of pain
The same flame that won't tame to just drive me insane
But I'm forever caught up In the better days

The better life without the knife I want the kids and the wife
The lack of rent the lack of drugs and the world's alright
The love I have the love I need the love of sight
The pain within the pain without the eternal fight.
The happiness and the bliss that come from feeling your lips
The memories that fade that black as I'm forgetting your kiss
The memories that bring me back to our young innocence
The memories I keep intact that I won't even miss

I've been gone I've been caught up in my yesterdays
I've been drawn by the songs that tell me it's ok
If I've won then tell me why my life has let me stay
My mind my mind has had it's better days

I feel lost in my mind
And I'm losing my shine
It's hard to feel okay when better days are behind
The better days of my life
The better days and the nights
The better days before the struggle to keep my head in the right
But I've been patient and been waiting I've been feeling the frustration
I don't stop I keep working I don't feel no hesitation
I'm just writing motivation for the people of the nation who are lost in better days
Looking for illumination
In hindsight I see the world through a young man's eyes
I sit back and see myself covered up in lies
I set free all the demons living in my mind

I've been gone I've been caught up in my yesterdays
I've been drawn by the songs that tell me it's ok
If I've won then tell me why my life has let me stay
My mind my mind has had it's better days

I've been gone I've been caught up in my yesterdays
I've been drawn by the songs that tell me it's ok
If I've won then tell me why my life has let me stay
My mind my mind has had it's better days

But I've been patient and been waiting I've been feeling the frustration
I don't stop I keep working I don't feel no hesitation
I'm just writing motivation for the people of the nation
Who are lost in better days looking for illumination
A sensation you can feel from your parent's separation
Or your families segregation or you're brother's graduation,
Now you feel determination using your imagination
Then you feel yourself embracing with the better days
Now you feel determination using your imagination
Then you feel yourself embracing with the better days

My mind my mind has had it's better days
