Lyrics

Dumb hope
It keeps me happy
But it keeps me broke
Don’t I know
Dumb hope
Some days I wish
It’d let me go
But it won’t
No
Standing ankle deep in the ice caps
I’m holding your hand
Just another week holding time back
Feels like taking a stand
Warm front moving in from 1980
Cold War heating up again tonight
I’m just trying to survive without taking
someone’s life
Wouldn’t that be nice?
Wouldn’t that be nice
Am I trying to pretend
That we’re not coming to the end?
Or just trying to make it across the line
With all my closest friends
And dumb hope
It keeps me happy
But it keeps me broke
Don’t I know
Dumb hope
Some days I wish
It’d let me go
But it won’t
This crazy stupid hope
Plant another flower in the garden
Turn a little of the fading sun
Into one more beautiful and
slowly dying thing
One more mirror held up for everyone
Am I trying to pretend
That we’re not coming to the end
Or just trying to make it across the line
With all my closest friends
And dumb hope
It keeps me happy
But it keeps me broke
Don’t I know
Dumb hope
Some days I wish
It’d let me go
But it won’t
This crazy stupid hope
Refreshing the feed never refreshes me
I am feeling so damned tired
Like a living machine just
programmed to need
So much more, more all the time
Oh untie me from these wires
(I'll take my) dumb hope
It keeps me happy
But it keeps me broke
Don’t I know
Dumb hope
Some days I wish
It’d let me go
But it won’t
This crazy stupid hope
