I wish something ugly would happen
Cause an uproar and alter the outcome
It’s better this way, but I couldn’t prove it
It’s better this way, but what could I do?

I want an outlet. Something to ruin
I want to do what nobody is doing
It’s better this way, but I couldn’t prove it
It’s better this way, but what could I do?

Whatever rises from under the ashes
Carrying on, with or without us
I want to be there because I think it might just
Be better this way. But what could I do?
