It Gets Better

(album: Dark Days - 2014)

They got your walls as tall as the ceiling
or your hearts curled up in a ball on the floor
its never been this hard
to push on through the dark
I know its tough to make a smile creep out of the broken doubt
and the rest of you is torn
just wait they got more words in store
like you're stupid
I think they're stupid
you wonder why they do this
There ain't a reason
They think they're tough right?
taking your time to make a rough night
For someone else its not a dumb fight
Cause all we have is who we are
Who we are
Not everybody has a heart as thick as ours
Keep aiming for the stars
Don't forget who you are
Take it for granted
The love they've been handed
Yeah we're all misdirected
We try to learn the lessons
but when you're alone
Your heart turned to stone
No heart or home
Stolen conclusion
Your minds all turned over
from words of illusion
but you're fine
You're fine
Lay your head down
It'll be alright
Take the time to realize, they're all just lies.

cause not everybody has a heart as thick as ours
keep aiming for the stars
not everybody has a heart as thick as ours
keep aiming for the stars
Its so hard to let a smile creep out of all the broken doubt
When you're gone, alone, cause they take you down, they skin ya to the bone.
Do you know who you are?
Cause I know who you are
You're a pinch of perfect
a dash of worth it
Don't take your life
Just stay tongue tied
I know its hard
do they know its this hard
to make a smile creep out of a pile of broken doubt
When all of its gone, they take you down, they take your stars.
But i need you to shine
for me tonight
I need you to shine, I need you to shine
Cause it doesn't look like it gets
It doesn't look like it gets better
With all of this heavy weather
But I swear that it does.
but I know you think twice cause of the heavy heavy weather
and you don't know whether to stay.
Because not everybody has a heart as thick as yours
Keep aiming for the stars, don't forget who you are
Cause you've gotten this far, don't let them take it all.
