Hopelessly Hopeful

Staring eyes wide open, gazing into nothing

Running in place again

Going through the motions

In and out as the oceans, repeating

Numb to the silence, to the absence of emotion

The sum of the script, nothing but a click in the rotation, yeah

Sick of the peace of mind that goes along with keeping on

And I can't keep on keeping on

Feels like I'm stuck here, suspended, at best underwhelming

What's wrong with me?

My conscious is calling but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be

I'm hopelessly hopeful

That I'm not stuck here suspended in a world I pretended was right for me, for me

What's wrong with me?

Strung out on the same old, got an itch from something painful

To feel something real once, to remind myself it's not in my head

Sick of the calm coinciding with sticking in and with the line

Can't keep on keeping on

It all just feels like I'm stuck here suspended, at best underwhelming

What's wrong with me?

My conscious is calling but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be

I'm hopelessly hopeful

That I'm not stuck here suspended in a world I pretended was right for me, for me

What's wrong with me?

When I close my eyes

When I leave the light

Inside it feels like I'm stuck here suspended, at best underwhelming

What's wrong with me?

My conscious is calling but the world isn't all it's cracked up to be

I'm hopelessly hopeful

That I'm not stuck here suspended in a world I pretended was right for me, for me
