Hope (feat. Aaron Burke, Evan Bisbee & Jef Wright) - Roar

When you wake up screaming You have to do what you can To turn a city sidewalk into a desert island There's so much here to ignore The world's much uglier than we gave it credit for I don't need a God to punish me I'm perfectly capable of doing it on my own So leave me alone, oh It's a shame to make the same mistakes But I'm afraid people don't change You'll never save the moth from the flame You made a tape, and play it loud To try and drown the demons out Afraid of what will grow in me A sap to drown the family tree My body's just a thing to eat And where they find me A star is shining Burning my shadow's shape in the concrete

Beat those desperate wings just to maintain, In that glorious blaze of feathers and flames. Ashes from the meat will form a dead beach, But we could scream a sun to terrify the sea, Turn the dirt to glass and wake the deceased. Our hollow bones line the inside frames of stolen BMX bikes. Wake, and then sing. Where there's an end there must be a beginning. Time likes to watch me Struggling. Time likes to watch me... A chrysalis formed for orchids moaning, Begging the sun to bring the morning, Missing the point, the signs, the warnings Don't go to sleep.

We bury the children alive They gave you life They took it back again Blink slowly your galaxy eyes Head toward the light Sorry for everything Carry me in your teeth with tender jaws of sympathy (Arrow deep inside the meat Impossible for us to reach) Shattered in a mist of crippled, angel silhouettes Lift the dirt, and cover me Lay at my side until I'm finally sleeping Until I'm finally sleeping Until I'm finally sleeping Until I'm finally sleeping

Ronnette, my dear, don't ever disappear Do what you want as long as you stay here I need you now, I love you so much, more than you could know The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift And love is a tower where all of us can live You'll change your name, or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind But I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know Appearing unsightly, with devils inside me If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you, Ronnie I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now I'm going to escape, but you won't know how Or where to find me when I'm gone I'll drink myself to death insi-i-i-i-i-i-ide this prison cell, thi-is prison cell So, get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here You'll change your name, or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind But I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know

You drag your bones across the Earth Like everyone who dragged theirs first A speech, a prayer, a stone to read A wooden case for worms to eat Corpses met with Hallmark afterthoughts Apparently, they're sorry for the loss It's sad, but true, and tough for you Your brain's synaptic buzz is through Exist to die and still live on To haunt the ones who done you wrong Twenty grams of weight and the soul's escaped You're coming back a duck or an ape Twenty grams of weight and the soul's escaped You're coming back a duck or an ape
