It Doesn't Get Better

Everybody's coping, we're comfort-chasing creatures
Everybody's hoping to take a path that's easier

Afraid of disappointment, nervous and avoidant
Terrified to make mistakes
Paranoid and careful, trading our potential
Just to find a safer space

Legends aren't born in the sunshine
No one learns to swim from the shoreline
Gotta break down till you break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
Don't know who you are till it's war time
Don't know how to live till you flatline
Gotta break down till you break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do

Everybody's nervous, addicted to their status quo
Scared to get discouraged, it's comfortable where things don't grow

Afraid of disappointment, nervous and avoidant
Killing who they could become
Paranoid and careful, selling all the special
For another hit of numb

Legends aren't born in the sunshine
No one learns to swim from the shoreline
Gotta break down till you break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
Don't know who you are till it's war time
Don't know how to live till you flatline
Gotta break down till you break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do

Resistance makes life rewarding
Good times just make you more boring
Low tide won't write you a story
Keep running from rain if you don't wanna change
Blue skies sometimes are a warning
From mountains and climbs you're ignoring
Trials are made for transforming
Keep running from rain if you don't wanna change

Legends aren't born in the sunshine
No one learns to swim from the shoreline
Gotta break down till you break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
Don't know who you are till it's war time
Don't know how to live till you flatline
Gotta break down till you break through
When it doesn't get better, that's when you do
