Hopelessness

Hazy eyed you sat down on your back porch

Dreaming of views along the shore

Pages like leaves across the floor

And you sketch it out

With no inspiration

Painting circles just to feel like you’ve been here before

I’ll wash your pain with shades of grey

And fill your world with better days

‘Til we all fall down

This is drawn out, drawn out

Like pictures in your room

You tore down, you tore down

All it meant to you

So what’s left after all of this?

You gave your passion to hopelessness

Tired eyes take seat the foot of your bed

Panning the walls in your head

Can’t put your thoughts to rest

With every crooked line

You start to break down

You can’t get out

This is drawn out, drawn out

Like pictures in your room

You tore down, you tore down

All it meant to you

So what’s left after all of this?

You gave your passion to hopelessness
