My Better Self

[Refrain:]
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes.

[Verse 1:]
Each and every attempt
A bit of substance spent
Despite the effort I have lent
You seem to lose what I meant.

[Chorus:]
If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to posses
A purpose and function that cannot be met.

[Verse 2:]
Those who create it know
There is an ebb and flow
Of neither value given shows
That meaning comes and goes.

[Refrain:]
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes.

[Chorus:]
If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to posses
A purpose and function that cannot be met
If I don't use words then each sound goes unheard
Utterly senseless without nouns and verbs
But symbols suggest they are fit to posses
A purpose and function that cannot be met.

[Refrain:]
My better self still knows
That meaning comes and goes
What is innate I do not know
But meaning comes and it goes.
