Hope Fiend
A hundred bridges burned and not a single lesson learned
Back and forth, around again you go with no concern
A trail of pain lay fresh behind you,
No friendly face to find you
Living in the shadows but
no hiding from yourself
Ask for forgiveness, not my permission
Friend or foe it’s your decision
(x2)
Carry me back, back to the day
when things were just simple and you were safe.
The road ahead, it’s dark and it’s gray
Find your light and just turn away
Turn away (x4)
So your systems finally failed
So sad this ship has sailed.
Sympathy to you but I won’t pay your fucking bail.
I’d like to hope all isn’t lost
Reaching out but wires crossed.
Armor at the ready
Heart was full but now it’s heavy
Ask for forgiveness, not my permission
Friend or foe it’s your decision
(x2)
Carry me back, back to the day
when things were just simple and you were safe.
The road ahead, it’s dark and it’s gray
Find your light and just turn away
Turn away (x4)
Got all your axes but nowhere to grind ‘em
…so back to your demons you know where to find ‘em
Shout out for help as you drown in the shallow end
Look inside yourself and find your feet again
Carry me back, back to the day
when things were just simple and you were safe.
The road ahead, it’s dark and it’s gray
Find your light and just turn away
Turn away (x4)
Find your light and slowly turn away
