Hope

(album: Impossible Animals - 2016)

Do I need a reason to wake up lonely all the time?
I don't want to see you, but I don't know where to hide

Some mistakes should not be made
Like opening your heart
If your heart's upon your sleeve
Then amputate the arm

Swim in circles, water fills your lungs
And why should anyone else offer their help?
I mean, just look at the way you never took care of yourself

I'll be numb, but I'll be free
My friends will keep me honest
My friends will keep me honest
You won't mean a thing to me
Now, that's what I call, "progress"
That's what I call progress
That's what I call progress

Is this what you mean when you say that you're making it easier, easier?

Now you want the feelings back
Now that you're an actor
And phantom pains cannot convince
Or captivate an audience

Your monologue was such a mess
A reprehensible pretense
Guilt's a modus operandi
You thought that hope was so profound
What if true love doesn't wait for everyone to come around?
Everyone to come around
Everyone to come around
Everyone to come around
Everyone to come around
Everyone to come around
Everyone to come around
Everyone to come around
