Hope/Against Hope

So here's another fucking song

That can't change the world.

Everybody come and sing along

Cuz the same old shit never gets old.

Do you think i'm kidding?

I don't know if i am

Cuz on the days i can't get out of bed

Without this same old shit i think i'd be dead

So here's another fucking song:

. . . and in a dream i saw you

You tore your hand from mine and

You said "love isn't worth it, dear

We're just killing time between infinite quiet

And i know you're starving

We're all wearing thin

But kid, you'll want to shut your heart

You've let the heat out and let the cold in."

So how have i been doing?

I've never been better.

I've never been so fucking sure

That antarctica is everywhere.

There's still no sign of purpose

So i'll say what i mean:

The real world's just another con.

The good kids have all got it wrong

And if the sun don't shine for us

We'll take the night and carry on.

The real world's just another con.

Coffin bound with the captured pawns

And if the sun don't shine for us

Then in the dark, we'll sing along . . .

The real world's just another con

But this is so much more then just one more song

And if the sun don't shine for us

We'll take the night and carry on.

You can take the path of the living dead

I'll be resistant to the end.

It's my hope against hope:

I'm not the only one (you're not the only one)
