A Girl Named Hope

[Slug]

*whispers* Come on, let's go

She abandoned me, left me out in the cold

No surprises, I guess that's how it goes

Sits across from me, at a booth in this dive(?)

I contemplate how much more I can survive

But I'm alive, so I should be content

Then tell why the hell my whole world is bent

I was sentiment can frustrate the population

In-between the alcohol and the copulation

What you call it, if you build it I will break it

What's wrong? How you doin'? Nah, save it

Gave it(?her?) a fraction of all I had to give

I guess I hold a grudge, cause you still got my rib

With your beautiful eyes, unscrupulous lies

Now watch the circus clown run around in circles and try

Seems like all I get to eat is hope

Girl, if we got along better we'd be dope

[Sample]

Oh walls, they surround me

Loneliness, has found me

[Slug]

And for as much as I complain, I'm lovin' it

And I only mention it so that I can rub it in

Wake up to the sunlight, shake off last night

Check what's left and try to get the rest right

Decision, splitting headache lifting

Symptoms matching, mama was afraid of it

Knowledge of self ain't as evil as they made it

Call it what you want, if you build it they will break it

The plain truth, there's no substitute

But sometimes she bares the disguise (yes you do)

A story teller kills(?) with life not hope

Girl, if we got along better we'd be dope

And that's the sound that a dog will make when he's just been

hit by a car

And that's the tone that hits close to home, when the cocaine

outlives the star

And that's the noise that disrupts the boys when the cue ball

smacks it goal(?)

And these are the words that disturb your earth when I walk away

with your hope
