lyrics

False Hope

I dreamt that you and I were children, skipping rocks and making castles in the snow.
We had so many things in common. Innocent ideas of the ways we’d grow.
I remember the hidden rooms. The smell of the furniture, the boxes tightly sealed.
Every action in the shadows. In the darkness, darkness is concealed.

I left home to watch the sunset.
A prayer for a morning glow.
Buried deep but not forgotten.
Empty promises and False hope.

If I could meet myself at twenty, I’d punch that motherfucker square in the teeth.
I’d ask him what he thinks he’s doin’? Then help him rediscover every last missing piece.
The hands of omnipresent healers, suture my wounds with golden twine.
Tenderness to treat infection, cleanse what’s rancid, giving me what mine.

I went home to watch the sunset.
Waiting for the morning glow.
Left unspoken and forgotten.
Empty promises and False hope.

If I could meet me as a child. I’d scare the monsters underneath the bed.
I’d lift that kid up on my shoulders and blast off in a rocket ship to where we can’t be misled.

We would stay and watch the sunset.
Basking in the amber glow.
Far away and long forgotten.
Empty promises and False hope.
