Cancel Your Hopes

Cancel your hopes, dear

Do you remember when this was all fields?

Boys in the boardroom backslapping their deals

There’s a hole in our bucket, dear Liza - a hole

Walk the high wire with no mind for the crash

Are we in denial or do we crave collapse?

Can’t look strangers in the eye

Is that cos we are terrified?

Cos you know that we said forever

And you see that there’s nothing left

So let’s stand til we all fall over

Take my hand cos it’s so fucking beautiful

Cancel your hopes, please

The planet’s on fire while we’re stroking our screens

Buy better headphones to muffle their screams

There’s a hole in our bucket

And everyone knows

Walk the high wire with no mind for the crash

Are we in denial or do we crave collapse?

Won’t look strangers in the eye

Is that cos we are dead inside?

Cos you know that we said forever

And you see that there’s nothing left

So let’s stand til we all fall over

Take my hand cos it’s so fucking beautiful

Now I see that we’re going under

But I know that there’s nothing else

So as long as we stand together

Take my hand cos you’re so fucking beautiful
