the dowling poole - hope lyrics

Loading...

hope will hold your hand and drag you down

hope is the cruellest one + she’ll keep you hanging on
she’ll have you wondering – where did it all go wrong?
she’ll pick you up and then – she’ll cut you down again
she enjoys your suffering – the dark comedienne is laughing at you

hope holds the bill to pay + for every word unsaid
she spreads the virus wide – across the living dead
creates the wasted life – among a billion more
they plead and cling to her + somehow they must endure, they must endure this

and when you’re clinging to the rocks for survival
she’s the power in the wave that sucks you down
a brief second to imagine your revival
you’re still thinking that your time will come around

hope makes a fool of you – she lets you show your hand
she leaves her pointless clues – that you’ll never understand
hope gives you energy – that is not yours to burn
hope takes a piece of you – and still you never learn
you never learn from it

there was a rumour everybody made their own luck
perpetrated by the lucky aristocracy
put the money that you borrow on a number
for a future that you’re never going to see

(don’t it seem sometimes)
that it’s never been fair and the world don’t care
no rhyme, nor reason on the road to despair
shame that you came on your own
(and don’t it make you wonder)
what you gotta do to survive in tact
sell your soul to the devil as a matter of fact
so find yourself a way of coping
no way just hoping will save you

hope will watch you drown

hope plays a simple trick – she disappears and then
she lets you touch her hand – she’s off and on again
you scream like lazarus – why won’t she leave you dead?
hope says she’s serious – and you’re hanging by a thread
and she pulls when she chooses

hope will hold your hand and drag you down
hope will hold your hand and drag you down
