Brighter
You've told him of a childhood
That no one would aspire to
He says - "look at the strength it's given you"
Tales of misfortune
Catalogue of doom and gloom
Michael just smiles at you
You're having the nightmares
You're writing them down
But all you can see is the storm
But the best plays are the tragedies
We get shown what we need to see
The moral is morality
You make your own reality
But I'm afraid
With your frame of mind
(It's only gonna get) Darker
And darker
And darker
Darker than you remember
Wait until November
Mercury's in retro
Chaos from the get-go
Live it up - you reap what you sow
Neptune's in alignment
Saturn's feeling violent
Pluto's gonna tear you to shreds
La la la la la la
Your scars clearly show
The world's been unfair to you
But only if you let it define you
If every experience
Gives you strength and resilience
Use it to help others in need
You're having the nightmares
You're writing them down
But all you can see is the storm
And when you moan and when you curse
You write your play with every verse
The truth is cold may seem perverse
But burn it up live in reverse
Otherwise
I'm afraid
(It's only gonna get) Darker
And darker
And darker
And darker
Darker than you remember
Wait until November
Mercury's in retro
Chaos from the get-go
Live it up - you reap what you sow
Neptune's in alignment
Saturn's feeling violent
Pluto's gonna tear you to shreds
La la la la la la
Get over what your parents said
The voices inside your head
Only speak to people in the room
You'll get happiness you'll get health
If you're not focused on yourself
Just change your state of mind
And it'll get brighter
And brighter
And brighter
And brighter
Brighter if you're willing to serve
The crazier the world becomes
Suffering in everyone
The more chances to serve
Your world will get brighter
And brighter
And brighter
And brighter
Brighter if you're willing to serve
