For papa

I'm counting on my bruises I'm not counting on myself I've been wreaking out this havoc 'Cause I thought it'd suit me well Never careful of what I'd wish for Never careful with what I'd say Always begging for attention In my sick and twisted way If I could reach the stars There's hope for the hopeless Now that I know this You can be the strength to carry on The voice in the silence Is crushing the violence It's giving me a chance to right these wrongs I will never quit, this is it 'Cause it's hope for the hopeless Hope for the hopeless I'm sitting in the shadows As the bodies hit the floor And I don't need another reason Why I can't take anymore I'm so sick of these excuses Tired of living in the dark And I won't be another victim Starving from an empty heart I'll rise to reach the stars There's hope for the hopeless Now that I know this You can be the strength to carry on The voice in the silence Is crushing the violence It's giving me a chance to right these wrongs I will never quit, this is it 'Cause it's hope for the hopeless I won't suffocate in vain I won't die in apathy I stood out on the edge And faced eternity Saw freedom in the fall When I finally believed I'll never be alone There's hope for the hopeless Now that I know this You can the strength to carry on The voice in the silence Is crushing the violence It's giving me a chance to right these wrongs I will never quit, this is it 'Cause it's hope for the hopeless Hope for the hopeless
