"Before It Gets Better"

there's a light that just won't go out
no matter what they try to do
'cause you can't pull out the circuits
remove the bulb or blow the fuse
and it just might be the brightest star discovered yet by man
but it might as well be a pin hole from where we stand
there are times when I thought it'd be easy to ignore
but it just takes one look and I don't believe my theory anymore
I won't get upset I won't fight it I'd have no escape in mind
but the distant roar of the highway just won't subside

so don't leave soon
don't leave this room
we'll be on top of the moon
but 'til then
it's a bloodbath
it's a bloodbath
it's a bloodbath
and it's getting worse

in a crowded room there are people planning our time
and the next time I know when I see them they will be older
and we'll be fine

you can count up all of your friends who still really know you on just one hand
and the others they'll come around soon
they'll understand

so don't feel bad
don't look so sad
we're much more than that
but for now it's a deathtrap
it's a deathtrap
it's a deathtrap
it's a bloodbath
and it's gonna get worse

and it's gonna get worse
it's gonna get worse
before it gets better
