[Verse 1]

Far away, as far as the eye can see

Is a place that I don't understand

A?place?we know as?Sonderland

I call it home, call it?hell

I'm sure if it could it would call me names?as?well

Like?"a walking detriment"

On?the world's worst?carousel

[Pre-Chorus]

These strange times that we live in

Will slowly eat you alive if you don't fit in

[Chorus]

Welcome to my dark despair

Everyone here is a nightmare

As they all keep talking in their sleep

I am wondering

If it surely gets better than this

[Verse 2]

Why do good things come to all those terrible people?

And would God be the next big thing

If you heard her on the radio?

Where did all the good ones go?

They finish last or they die young

Then it's onto the next post

The story of a generation

So dead set on novelty

But some honesty now and then would be quite nice

[Chorus]

Welcome to my dark despair

Everyone here is a nightmare

As they all keep talking in their sleep

I am wondering

If it surely gets better than this

[Bridge]

No, I don't want wanna sit and talk about politics

Or social sciences in contradiction

Not when I'm staring down the edge of the precipice

With grim ambition

[Pre-Chorus]

These strange times that we live in

Will slowly eat you alive if you don't fit in

[Chorus]

Welcome to my dark despair

Everyone here is a nightmare

As they all keep talking in their sleep

I am wondering

If it surely gets better than this

[Outro]

Surely gets better than this

It surely gets better than this

It surely gets better than this
