Songs: Hope

At the time it seemed like a tidal wave

Trying to push me too deep to be saved

The lifeguards were very poor at their jobs

Making small talk as my lungs became water logged

I can't remember how I made it to land

Coughing up water for the thirsty sand

I said "I'm never going outside again"

Mother earth has a taste for the blood of man


Many more have it worse than I

Just another reason to stay inside

But there is more than just danger gone

A safe man sings a lonely song


I think I saw the answer

In my grandfather's eyes

Every scar tells a story

And stories never flatline


Our bodies may stop working

But we will never die

    FRESH

    I once was innocent and clean
    Before I learned my way,
    Before I yearned for things between,
    And then I turned away.

    CHORUS:
    Because
