lyrics

I came here with nothing
Left with even less
Still humming something
Tail between my legs

I’m inconsistent
And smaller than average
But ill go the distance
Crawl on the canvas

Dying of thirsty
Be-sides a stream
I fall off the bedside
When I try to dream

And I get this feeling
That this time its over
Fans on the ceiling
Blowing me sober

Mmm

I yearn for a home where
I haven’t been yet
I don’t mean a front door
I don’t mean a three bed

My middle names are
Failing and falling
Riding the waves but
My sailings appailing

Mmm

My best friend died this year
And it really fucked me with
Covered in black tar
Everything stuck to me

The slither of something
Keeps me from jumping
Is that the last thing I wrote back
Was that I love him

Hope Sweet Hope
Come to me
Hope Sweet Hope
I could use some
Hope Sweet Hope
Im hanging on
Hope Sweet Hope

I had a dream that
you were alive and
We were arriving
Upon an island

I think I’ve outgrown
The plant pot that grew me
It turns out that freedom
Came with what over threw me

And Im still awaiting
All of the best things
Wrapped up inside me
Like my intestines

There is a window
Behind every curtain
Light pouring in slow
The morning is certain

Mmm

There is song for
All that is unsung
Where all that is evil
Will surely be undone

There is place where
The gates always open
Gold on the pavement
Restored what was broken

That’s where I’m going
That’s where you find me
Next to my best friend
With my wife beside me

I don’t have answers
But I have a feeling
That all of your pain will
One day reveal them

Mmm
