Do Better / Sorry

by Zig Zag

/
  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Do Better and Sorry are the first songs Zig Zag ever wrote. For singer Kelly, the months leading up to the band’s formation were turbulent and fraught, losing friendships and loved ones and tackling an onslaught of mental health hurdles. Do Better is a digestion, a plea and a rebirthing. It is a vow that queers will lock arms and protect each other in the face of cruelty and apathy.

    Recorded and mixed with nurturing love and camaraderie at Love Shack studios by Jessicca Bennett with support from Rachel Sztanski
    Mastered by the masterful Aden Senycia at Love Shack studios

Do Better 03:20
I take the bullet again and again What do we gain when I let us pretend That what you did isnʼt how it happened I wanna do better So I can feel better So you will do better Do more so I can do less One of your bros til you canʼt carry your own load and what you ask of my emotions simmers under my skin Sucks me out of the body I was born in If Iʼm not like me, am I more like you? Getting dressed everyday in my choice of the two Show more So I can show less You gotta do better So I can feel better So you can do more and I can get rest Try harder be a little bit smarter Iʼd give you my best if you could all just do a bit better We fight to love through the pain you inflict We fight so fucking hard to love I hold my love by the hand I hold their head in my arms I hold your fear in my heart I hold your hate in my gut Do better so I can feel better Step up Havenʼt I done enough? Do better so I can feel better And you will do better And weʼre all gonna feel a lot better Do better Still trying to get better Maybe I’d be better If you’d have done better

Sorry 03:01
Iʼm sorry That it took me so long to figure out what to do Iʼm not sorry The one who should be sorry is you Iʼm sorry That I said donʼt worry that I made an excuse Iʼm not sorry no more apologising for you Itʼs not my job to lay down the law Iʼm just the one who said no more I wanna forgive I wanna let it go But you buried your burden In women and queer people Are you sorry? Yeah, you apologised You said sorry and it still didn’t make it right A line can be fine you were right by my side But i wonʼt let this slide not this time Would you be sorry? To count the number of times I cried I tried I tried Itʼs not my job to lay down the law Iʼm just the one who said no more I wanna forgive I wanna let it go But you buried your burden In women and queer people I didn't step in to take your place So you leave behind an empty space Put my foot down so hard it made holes I canʼt fill You flexed your muscles so I learned how to yell I came here to dance not to cry I shouldn't have bothered, should I?
