This Time 02:58
So it turns out that you aren't The person you always thought you were And nobody's surprised And it comes as quite a shock That just giving all you've got Was a lie you told yourself to pass the time This time You've got to make a change This time Though everything's the same I don't know Why you try anymore or if you've got the answers I don't know What the point of this struggle is if you pedal backwards This time You guess their way's good enough Responsibility is tough Its much easier to let them take the reigns You've got bills to pay and then Thoughts inside you head as well What's the difference tell them all to go to hell This time You've got to make a change This time Though everything's the same I don't know Why you try anymore or if you've got the answers I don't know What the point of this struggle is if you pedal backwards This time This time You've got to make a change This time Though everything's the same I don't know Why you try anymore or if you've got the answers I don't know What the point of this struggle is if you pedal backwards This time

Eyes 02:43
As I sit beside the dam A man without a plan I've got cookie cutter ideals Opened straight out of a can If I had all the answers Would I make better choices Would I heed all the voices in my head Who are you and who am I And does it even matter If I partake in social banter Can I just close my eyes It seems like every single day Time passes me on by And perhaps I should be alarmed That I don't wonder why But I know that time It doesn't wait for anyone Even if your having fun so just give up Who are you and who am I And does it even matter If I partake in social banter Can I just close my eyes Who are you and who am I And does it even matter If I partake in social banter Can I just close my eyes

When I think about myself And I think about my health Well I'm not doing all too bad But I drink every night And I always start a fight With myself why do I love being sad I engineered my own disbelief I drank too much to see clearly It's a quarter past two And I really have no clue Why I just can't fall asleep The bottle sits empty It's the only known remedy So here I go, counting sheep I engineered my own disbelief I drank too much to see clearly I engineered my own disbelief I drank too much to see clearly

2 oz 03:16
These 2oz notices that keep coming in the mail Remind me that I sold something that wasn't up for sale But I never knew eight hours could be such a waste of time 'Cause ' I spend a week in seconds trading at the checkout line The same everyday To make ends meet we can't compete And nothings gonna change Are dreams not worth pursuing when they're sold at such a price Or is it fear that holds us back from rolling the dice Are safety and security a cop out or the dream And if you risked it all would you regret what you had seen The same everyday To make ends meet we can't compete And nothings gonna change To make ends meet we can't compete And nothing's gonna change To make ends meet we can't compete And nothing's gonna change To make ends meet we can't compete And nothing's gonna change To make ends meet we can't compete And nothing's gonna change The same everyday To make ends meet we can't compete And nothings gonna change The same everyday To make ends meet we can't compete And nothings gonna change The same

Better Than Dead Denver, Colorado

Originating in 2019, Better Than Dead joined the Denver scene playing both large benefits and local shows. Cutting their teeth on Punk, BTD blended in influences of Ska, Metal, and Pop. With high energy shows and lyrics that inspire introspection, they've found their own style. They've released a fast paced Demo in 2020, and a follow up S/T EP in the summer of 2022 with more music on the way. ... more
