Hope
Finding Hope Amidst Desperation
Lyrics
It's 2 am and you're drunk again
Expressing the late hour and intoxication
Sending out a note of desperation
Conveying a desperate message
Hoping she'll give you the time of day
Hoping for attention from a particular person
But you know you're not on her mind
Aware of being overlooked or forgotten
Sleeping on couches, wearing dirty clothes
Living in challenging conditions
What you're going through nobody quite knows
Struggling privately without understanding
So you put on that smile and you go to the bar
Pretending happiness despite inner struggles
But happiness seems so fucking far
Frustration at the perceived distance from happiness
Spent your whole life wearing a mask
Masking true identity throughout life
Finding happiness inside a flask
Seeking solace in alcohol
Nobody knows who you really are
Feeling misunderstood by others
Distance yourself more, keep them so far but you
Creating emotional distance from others
Give up on dreams and throw away hope
Abandoning dreams and losing hope
'Cause the world doesn't help you, it just makes you choke
Perceiving the world as harsh and suffocating
And you're not sure how much more you can chew
Questioning endurance of current struggles
Maybe one more week of this and you'll make it through
Possibly contemplating a limited timeframe for coping
Coast through the dim lighting
Drifting through a dimly lit existence
Hiding emotions you're constantly fighting
Suppressing inner emotions through external appearances
Revisiting spaces
Revisiting memories or places of significance
Talking through transparent faces
Communicating with insincere or deceptive individuals
But can you rise above this way of living
Questioning the possibility of a better life
When life, it seems so unforgiving
Perceiving life as harsh and unmerciful
All else has already failed
Previous attempts at improvement have failed
Still so much more yet to unveil
Anticipating undiscovered aspects of life
Continuing mistakes of your father's past
Bearing the consequences of familial mistakes
Knowing this reign of mediocrity cannot last
Realizing the current mediocre state is unsustainable
Preparing for everything to come crashing down
Preparing for a drastic negative change
Looking for your chance out of this town
Seeking an opportunity to leave the current situation
But your average life, it comes to a halt
Normal life experiences come to a stop
So you wag your finger and point out the faults
Pointing out flaws in others as a distraction
You don't say those words that you wanted to speak
Suppressing words that express true feelings
Now the tears running down and they're soaking your cheek
Experiencing emotional breakdown and tears
They tell you keep fighting, you'll rise above
Encouragement to persevere despite challenges
Through false promises and failures in love
Facing deception and failures in love
You've hit rock bottom and it's tearing you apart
Hitting a low point and feeling shattered
Swear all you need is a fresh start
Desiring a new beginning for personal growth
