lyrics

I’m done with hope
Our dialogue is finished
I often choke
But this has no beginning
No words to set the scene
Just cruel reality
The coldness of the world
Just one more battle for me

I try to keep the spark alive
A four year sentence for a nine to five
We all grind just to live
But there’s limits to what we possess to give
Obsessed with being somewhere where I’m not
Orientation? No destination
Rewrite the narrative, ignore the holes in the plot
Somehow not disparaged by aging’s unprejudiced onslaught
Clinging to the vestiges of youth
Overinvested in selected truths
We all use our perception
To filter out the indiscretions
We all choose to shape the world according to our views
And when our rigid frameworks start to crystallize we lose
With pressure so intense it’s natural to build defense
We lose ourselves while trying to find some sense
Prescribing worth to patterns purposeless
Immensity condensed to fit our narrow lenses
Minutia magnified without a greater context
Convinced we’ve got it figured out
I can’t help but entertain my doubts

Collecting the dust from the creases
Frantically flip through the pages
The pressure increases with each passing stage of this unproven thesis
I’m done with hope, our dialogue is finished
I’m a patient boy but we all have our limits
A familiar scene, just cruel reality
The coldness of the world, just one more battle for me
