Hope

Lost in a rave, and I can’t think quietly
Lost all sense of me
Going tragically
Because this is a place where the beautiful come to be
Speaking ugly
But romantically
But hope, is a scary fucking thing to hold onto
It’s another love affair that plays with you
It’s another happy pill that I see through
But hope, it’s a kind of messy drug that consumes you
It’s an arm around a stranger that you’re into
It’s the only thing that I had left
You know the young die tired
When they’re lost in desire
Never losing hope, never losing
Never losing hope, never losing
When the room goes quiet
And I’m down to the wire
Never losing hope, never losing
Never losing hope, never losing
Can’t get away, from the creatures fooling me
Glowing misery
Smiling sympathy
And the dusk won’t turn to dawn in a stolen car
Sparks a false alarm
I can’t beat the dark
But hope, is a scary fucking thing to hold onto
It’s another love affair that plays with you
It’s another happy pill that I see through
But hope, it’s a kind of messy drug that consumes you
It’s an arm around a stranger that you’re into
It’s the only thing that I had left
You know the young die tired
When they’re lost in desire
Never losing hope, never losing
Never losing hope, never losing
When the room goes quiet
And I’m down to the wire
Never losing hope, never losing
Never losing hope, never losing
When the music fades
Let the music fade
And you can see my face
You can see my face
I can see the light in you
When the music fades
Let the music fade
And you can see my face
You can see my face
Now we can let it all shine through
'Cause hope, is a scary fucking thing to hold onto
It’s another love affair that plays with you
It’s another happy pill that I see through
But hope, it’s a kind of messy drug that consumes you
It’s an arm around a stranger that you’re into
It’s the only thing that I had left
