It Gets Better - salem ilese

What have we done? Oh my God! What have we done? Oh my God! This is really happenin' You never looked so bored Can you feel my fingernails? They've never been so short It's hard to lay a golden egg with everyone around It's hard to stay inside my head when words keep pouring out Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better I can taste your summer sweat It's never been so warm So can we kick the covers off? They're always on, it's never been so warm It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile If you could see the look that's in your eyes Like starlight crashing through the room, we'll lose our feathers Yes, I know it hurts at first but it gets better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better There's a fire in sky, some snow on the ground Not quite enough cigarettes to calm me down What are we doing? Oh my god! What are we doing? Oh my god! It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better (This is really happening) It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, we'll get better (This is really happening)

There's paper peeling off the walls I see the paint from yesteryear We try to cover up the past But tiny secrets still appear So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time The kitchen floor's a checkered board We've tried to end this game for years The tiles are cracked, the colour's changed The battleground is all but cleared So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time Caught in the cobwebs Memories linger in these rooms Under the floorboards Sweeping the stories we outgrew It's not a place to call home Just a place we've been for years The garden weeds have overgrown We've overstayed our welcome here So please don't say it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time It gets better, it gets better It gets better, it gets better on with time I'm not better We're not better, even after all this time
