Hope

You've always been the end of my bad dreams

Instead of the hero now, you're the one who puts me out

Out of the misery of monsters and beasts that feed

Off my innocent eyes, my feet that can't run fast enough to leave

You let me leave, you're the monster who finally wins, but

I'm disguised in the day, I fool me and all my friends

You could never see the things that I hope to come true

Hope is a comfort food, but instead it eats you

Inside and out, it can hardly be tamed

It's like a chemical and it craves my brain

I've put it away, but it clings to my neck

Hope won't leave me until I'm dust in your hands

I'll be too much for anyone

To grasp and put together, but he said forever

I want to believe, but I need to let go

Hope brushes my hair and it follows me home

Holds me together when nobody's there

But the wind, it presides, outside and I like to listen

They talk about me and my useless ambitions

I will strive for my goals until the world breaks

But some things wont happen, whatever it takes

What are you to me? You're my biggest mistake

You gave me this leech

That I can't seem to shake

Forgive you? I'm shaking, to pieces I'm breaking

And you're the drug that keeps me constant,

But I need to get off of it

And we're letting me fall

Goodbye, goodbye, the leap is my lifeline
