Nothing's Getting Better
Lyrics
Is this something that you thought? Or just something that you say? Or are you looking round for something That explains it all away?
Does it help you to sleep At night? Does it make you feel certain That you’re right?
On the edge of emotion When logic hangs back Yeah, I think you got a notion And you went on the attack
Do you toss and turn All night Or do you tell yourself It’s all right
When Nothing’s getting better Nothing’s getting better Nothing’s getting better And you know.
Can you keep your eyes open Try to see what’s real Or do you just stay broken Talk about the way you feel
Can you even get to sleep At night Can you even tell wrong From right
When Nothing’s getting better Nothing’s getting better Nothing’s getting better And you know.
You know, you know How you're supposed to be React to what you see Once you were just like me
Do you ever get to sleep Do you toss and turn Do you really feel certain That everything’s not gonna burn
When Nothing’s getting better Nothing’s getting better Nothing’s getting better And you know.

This is cool. Love how it opens up for the last lines of the verses! And yeah I know.. nothings getting better.. haha. I hope we're wrong and everything is getting better. Really good song!
Your voice has a little bit of a Mark Oliver Everett vibe here, which come to think of it, the tune has a Blinking Lights era Eels feel, too. What I mean by these comparisons is there is a rough sincerity.
