HOPE
I SEEK OUT HOPE,
LIKE YOU WOULD A TREASURE
(THE WINDS HAVE BLOWN OUT THE FLAME)
I HAD A TORCH IN HAND,
THE SAME YOU USED TO BURN ME TO THE GROUND
(I WASN'T WATCHING)
' HOPE ' HAD HANDS AND FEET
IT HAD EYES AND LISTENING EARS
(IT KNEW I WOULD TRY TO FIND IT,
I HAVE NEVER HELD ONTO ANYTHING
BIGGER)
ALL I'M SAYING IS:
I HAD HOPE,
BUT IT WAS A COWARD.
