Empty Orchestra - It Gets Better lyrics

There's no such thing as trains anymore

virginia, that's the cold hard truth

stop all your crying now, we don't have much use for

those things long gone

those dinosaurs went quietly unto their great reward

the day that we left, i don't know what i expected,

it was just the middle of another summer day

and everyone we knew wasn't gathered on the corner

waving as we drove away

and it seemed strange...

strange, the effort standing still can take

and it's strange what i expected of the world in the first place.

our bodies and history get braided together,

and it's strange how it gets better

it gets better...

there's no such thing as trains anymore

virginia, that's the cold hard truth

stop all your crying now, we don't have much use for

those things we'll never see

they went coughing smoke into some yellow page of history

put two fingers to your wrist and then concentrate

count the seconds pass away

feel it pound at the gates and try to escape

but your skin keeps it safe and contained

and it gets better...

it gets better...
