I've seen better days with my eyes closed
And now they're always open at night
I've seen better days, better than my own
But when they come I can never get them right

In better days I’d bitterly say that better days are coming

And those were my better days
And better days are coming

I miss the better nights with my eyes closed
And when I could keep them open all day
I miss better nights when the way to sleep was my own
When the way to sleep wouldn’t haunt me

In better days I’d bitterly say that better days are coming

And those were my better days
And better days are coming

It’s better to be better
I’m better. I’m bitter
I’m bitter I’m not better
I’m better. That’s better.

In better days I’d bitterly say that better days are coming

And those were my better days
And better days are coming

SongFight!

Better Days

You make me sing
I’m withering

And I’ve never danced well before

You make me sing
My voice is hoarse, it’s overused
I’m splintering
I’m leaking everything for you

And I can’t keep my feet on the floor

I thought I could evade it
But I’m covered in it now
I never could escape it
And I’m covered in it now

You make me sing
My words are tired, overused
I’m splintering
I’m spilling everything for you

And I can’t tell the roof from the floor

I never could escape it
And I’m covered in it now
I’m starting to embrace it
And I’m covered in it now

You make me sing
I’m tired and hoarse, I’m overused
I’m withering
I still have everything for you

And I’ve never danced well before

I'm Covered In It Now

[2/28/20 TRUMP RALLY AUDIO]
A 9/11 every day
[2/28/20 TRUMP RALLY AUDIO]
A 9/11 every day
[2/28/20 TRUMP RALLY AUDIO]

A 9/11 every day
And yet they act like it's okay
A 9/11 every day

[2/28/20 TRUMP RALLY AUDIO]

A 9/11 every day
And yet they act like it's okay
A 9/11 every day

Ring around the rosie
A pocket full of posies
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

A 9/11 Every Day

I wouldn’t know a good deal if it bit me in the face
And every plan seems toothless till it proves it’s not
I keep looking for teeth but ignoring my
senses - (ignoring that)

Trust costs too little
And I’m too quick to sell it

I never smell a bad deal when I kiss it on the face
I never feel the teeth although I stick my tongue in
What am I saying? You seem pretty sweet.
The kind of mystery I want to dig right into

Trust costs too little
And I’m too quick to sell it
At least now I know, at least now I know
I’m at it alone
And I’m so quick to sell it

You were so eager to
Get me involved
And now it’s still promises
Another mystery solved

Another mystery solved

Trust costs too little and I
Guess just a nibble sounds fine
I’m so quick to sell it cheap

At least now I know, at least now I know
I’m at it alone
And I’m so quick to sell it

Another Mystery Solved

What if I did something stupid?
And then you were to film it?
Do you think we’d get famous?
It’s the only way this could go!

The grown ups try to tell me
Saying that I should think
Before I act, but really
What’s there to think about?
Potential consequences? haha

You wanna see something crazy?
Start the camera and follow me
Absolutely nothing can stop me
Smash the like button if you agree!

The grown ups try to tell me
Saying that I should think
Before I act, but really
What’s there to think about?
Potential consequences? haha

Well I just fell off the top of mommy’s car
We crashed into the trashcans and I broke my fucking arm
It hurts so fucking bad, mom and dad are fucking mad
They took my keys, not allowed to drive until next week

The grown ups try to tell me
Saying that I should think
Before I act, but really
What’s there to think about?
Potential consequences!

No consequences!

Potential Consequences

The Brothers Baker have started making music together for the first time in over a decade. We're participating in a weekly online songwriting competition called SongFight! Each week, artists are given a mandatory song title and an optional challenge. We'll be posting those songs here as we find and develop our sound.
