hope

the world’s getting warmer
people getting colder
I hope it ain’t so
I hope it ain’t so

we have to jump off the deep end
to get to the bottom
I hope it ain’t so
I hope it ain’t so

but what good is hope?
when we’re digging our holes
deeper and deeper
when we don’t even know
that we’re in a hole

to find bliss
you gotta let go of it
I hope it ain’t so
I hope it ain’t so

to find love
you gotta forgive everyone
to be loved
you gotta allow it in
you gotta surrender
you gotta be a light
to the darkness
instead of being a darkness
to light

but what good is love?
when we’re so disconnected
so distracted
scared of reality
spineless cowards
pretending to be boxers
every act of violence
is a step closer
to a life sentence
for a crime nobody will admit to

those bridges burn
gloriously, sadly
I hope it ain’t so
I hope it ain’t so
