It's Easier Now Lyrics

Behind these eyes a desert spirit
Sea serpent heart inside a sunken ship
I finally got it
All parts wrong
I didn’t know how long it would take to do it
Behind these eyes
Dead grey mule
Torn apart moon in an empty room
It’s easier now
And I just say I got better
It’s easier now
That I just say I got better
It’s easier when I just admit
Death comes now
And the next minute
the next minute (x2)
Behind these eyes (x5)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

What breaks my heart most about this song is "It's easier now That I just say I got better". It's like the guys just worked out he can get by easier with his friends and family if he never tells them about his pain. I seriously cant bear it. Probably one of the very few incredibly heavy songs by Jason that doesn’t somehow miraculously have the reverse effect of inspiring and connecting me. This one just completely washes me out to sea.

He must be in os much missery for a long time, that he doesn't even know how low it is going to take untill the grief is over. So It’s easier now And I just say I got better,

All he lyrics make me silent, and just want to listen the songs again..
