For Stephen Sims, 'Better' is a personal song about coming to terms with his sexuality and the anxiety/fear of not knowing how others may react. There may be tough times ahead but things will certainly get better!

Lyrics:
All these emotions yeah they're mixed up inside
I don't know what to do and I cannot hide
It's there and its inside of me
Being honest it always comes with hurt
Being honest has always left me in the dirt
But that's wrong
I gotta feel, I gotta feel, I gotta feel my truth
I gotta live, I gotta live, I gotta live my youth
I gotta find myself

Cause it gets better
If I could tell that other person
It gets better
Now don't be hard upon yourself
Cause you're no lesser
Questioning the road ahead but you are meant to
Obstacles that you now face
Yeah, they're a lesson
It gets better
It gets better

Have you ever been on very edge falling down
There's secret that's deep inside
How will it get out
If I could take to my former self
I'd ask him why
Are you scared
These people will test but they are not friends
Being honest it always comes with it hurt
Being honest has always left me in the dirt
But thats wrong
I gotta feel, I gotta feel, I gotta feel my truth
I gotta live, I gotta live, I gotta live my youth
I gotta find myself

Cause it gets better
If I could tell that other person
It gets better
Now don't be hard upon yourself
Cause you're no lesser
Questioning the road ahead but you are meant to
Obstacles that you now face
Yeah, they're a lesson
It gets better
It gets better

Lyrics:

Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
It is cleansing my dishonesty

Two years I have wasted
Now I feel like a fraud
I’m guilty of acting the part
That I can’t play no more
Tell me, who decided
That I’ve gotta live this life
No, I don’t wanna hurt you
But I’m doing it by your side

Smoke and mirrors define this
Projected hologram that
I’ve turned into, don’t deny it
See the storm come

Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
It is cleansing my dishonesty

I don’t wanna say that I deceived you
I can’t admit my faults
Occasions when we were closer
I thought I had it all
I don’t have any pathetic answers
I wish I could give you more
I feel so numb, to my core

Smoke and mirrors define this
Projected hologram that
I’ve turned into, don’t deny it
See the storm come

Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
It is cleansing my dishonesty

Here comes the
Here comes the
Here comes the rain

Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
It is cleansing my dishonesty
Here comes the rain to wash away the pain
All the torment each and every day
Here comes the rain cascading over me
Here comes the rain

Decade Defector & Stephen Sims - These Games

Hyperfollow:
https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/decadedefectorandstephensims/these-games-2

Lyrics:
My breath melts in to the air
With forgotten words
That's a cut but surface deep
It has hurt me most
Dignified
Don't make you
Loyalty
Don't portray you
Take off that broken mask

I've been blamed
I've been scorned
You took the whole deck and you threw away the cards
Spun a tale
I wanted to believe
I was laughing then but now the jokes on me
Oh I hate these games
Oh I hate these games
Oh I hate these games
I thought I had struck gold
But as my mother taught
Play that way you'll get hurt

Compassion won't bring fractures close
They are floating all around
It's toxic now I know the truth
I wish I lived in doubt
Dignified
Don't make you
Loyalty
Don't portray you
Take off that broken mask

I've been blamed
I've been scorned
You took the whole deck and you threw away the cards
Spun a tale
I wanted to believe
I was laughing then but now the jokes on me
Oh I hate these games
Oh I hate these games
Oh I hate these games
I thought I had struck gold
But as my mother taught
Play that way you'll get hurt

Can you hear the memories whirl in my my head
Time is ticking cos I ain't with you
I gotta remember it was all fake a darker, meaner shade of blue

I've been blamed
I've been scorned
You took the whole deck and you threw away the cards
Spun a tale
I wanted to believe
I was laughing then but now the jokes on me
Oh I hate these games
Oh I hate these games
Oh I hate these games
I thought I had struck gold
But as my mother taught
Play that way you'll get hurt

Lyrics:
On a highway to nowhere
Drifting through the night
Blurred on the horizon
Blink and its gone with the light
Leave it all behind
Leave all the tear-stained hopes I had
It's over
I'm older

Fantasies have lied
Only left me in despair
With no compromise
I stepped into a nightmare

Your hardwired to dream
Not told about the fall
At your lowest
Suddenly you don’t mean much at all

Leave it all behind
Leave all the tear-stained hopes I had
It's over
I'm older

Guess I learned too late
How am I supposed to know
When your faith turns fake
You cant invest anymore

Tell me my truth
But I don’t wanna confide
What the hell is this
Some fabricated lie

On a highway to nowhere
Drifting through the night
Blurred on the horizon
Blink and its gone with the light
Leave it all behind
Leave all the tear-stained hopes I had
It's over
I'm older

On a highway to nowhere
Drifting through the night
Blurred on the horizon
Blink and its gone with the light
Leave it all behind
Leave all the tear-stained hopes I had
It's over
I'm older
