I've never been better than you see me todaynCan't remember a time that I felt this waynI've never been better so you don't need to asknWe can both pretend that we don't know what lies behind this masknnWhat leaves a mark can't be forgottennWhat's in the dark when you can't seenBehind the lace and velvet, something's rottennI've never been better 'cause I never knew how much better I could bennYou've never been better, you're looking finenIt seems like forever, sure been a long timenYou've never been better, as far as you knownWe can both pretend we can't see how far you still have to gonnWhat leaves a mark can't be forgottennWhat's in the dark when you can't seenBehind the lace and velvet, something's rottennYou never got better 'cause you never knew how much better you could bennBut that's no crime, everybody's guiltynWe're all doing time till death sets us freenWe pay the price and we're forgivennFor stealing life from the livingnnIt's never been better than it is todaynIn the land of the free, everybody gets their saynIt's never been better, don't tell me I'm wrongnWe can all pretend we knew what we were doing all alongnnBut what leaves a mark can't be forgottennWhat's in the dark when you can't seenBehind the lace and velvet, something's rottennIt never got better 'cause we never knew how much better it could bennWhat leaves a mark can't be forgottennNo Noah's Ark could save our skinsnIn the house as white as a dove, something's rottennRaise your glass and drink a toast to this land of holy innIt never got better 'cause we never knew how good it could have been
