Before It Gets Better

There's a light that just won't go out no matter what they try to do
'Cuz 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 pinhole 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 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
