Building A Better Me Lyrics - Dogwood

Superficial nature wearing thin 

I can't seem to begin 

What really do I see 

When I stare back at me? 

As crushing time reveals my foe 

Inheriting all woe 

Solutions in the past 

Conditioned not to ask 

It's what you're meant to be 

Your name and number 

Be all that you should be 

You will recover things you haven't lost 

Because they don't see you like you think they do 

Please just become you 

Release your fear is what he said 

This all came to a head 

Feel cheated out of you 

Tradition follows through 

Though I can't see how this will end 

I know that you will always pull me through 

It's what you're meant to be 

Your name and number 

Be all that you should be 

You will recover 

Things you haven't lost 

Because they don't see you 

Like you think they do 

Please just become you 

It's what you're meant to be 

Your name and number 

Be all that you should be 

You will recover 

Things you haven't lost 

Because they don't see you 

Like you think they do 

Please just become you 

It's what you're meant to be 

Your name and number 

Be all that you should be 

You will recover 

Things you haven't lost 

Because they don't see you 

Like you think they do 

Please just become you 

My soul went searching for a cause 

But came back empty-handed 

The emptiness you see 

Building a better me
