lyrics

HOPE HURTS
KEEP IT FAR AWAY
I CAN’T TAKE ANOTHER CRASH
ANOTHER FLASH OF DREAM LIGHT LEFT TO DECAY

HOPE HURTS
IT KICKS ME TO THE STREET
SENDS ME INTO BATTLE WHEN I’D RATHER
BE AT HOME OBSOLETE

IT’S ALL THE SAME AS I GET OLDER
WE NEVER GET THERE OVER AND OVER
MY GRANDMOTHER ON MY SHOULDER
WE NEVER GET THERE OVER AND OVER
OVER AND OVER
OVER AND OVER

HOPE HURTS
BUT I AM NOT ALONE
SO I CANNOT SUCCUMB TO WHAT I HUNGER FOR
THE CRADLE OR THE BOTTLE OR THE STONE

THE DÉJÀ VU AS I GET OLDER
WE ALMOST GET THERE OVER AND OVER
MY GRANDMOTHER SPITTING FROM MY SHOULDER
WE ALMOST GET THERE OVER AND OVER
OVER AND OVER
HOPE IS HOW WE REHEARSE
BUT HOPE HURTS
