Hope Sweet Hope Testo

I came here with nothing, left with even less
Still humming something, tail between my legs
I'm inconsistent, smaller than average
But I'll go the distance, fall on the canvas
Dying of thirsty, beside the stream
I fall off the bedside when I try to dream
And I get this feeling that this time it's over
The fans on the ceiling, blowing me sober

I yearn for a home where I haven't been yet I don't mean a front door, I don't mean a 3-bed
My middle names are failing and falling
Riding the waves but my sailing's appalling

My best friend died this year, and it really fucked with me
Covered in black tar, everything stuck to me
A slither of something that keeps me from jumping
Is the last thing I wrote back, was that I love him

Hope sweet hope
Come to me hope, sweet hope
I could use some hope, sweet hope
I could use some hope, sweet hope

Well, I had a dream that you were alive and
We were arriving up on an island
I think I've outgrown the plant pot that grew me
It turns out that freedom came with what overthrew me
And I'm still awaiting all of the best things
Wrapped up inside me like my intestines There is a window behind every curtain
Light pouring in slow, the morning is certain

Hope sweet hope
Come to me hope, sweet hope
I could use some hope, sweet hope
I'm hanging on to hope, sweet hope

Well, there is a song for all that is unsung
Where all that is evil will surely be undone
There is a place where the gates always open
Gold on the pavement, restored what was broken
And that's where I'm going, that's where you'll find me
Next to my best friend, with my wife beside me
And I don't have answers, but I have a feeling
That all of your pain will one day reveal them
