She abandoned me left out in the cold

No suprises I guess that's how it goes

Sits across from me in a booth in this dive

I contemplate how much more I can survive

But- I'm alive so I should be content

Then tell why the hell my whole world is bent

I was send to make and frustrate the population

Inbetween the alcohol and the copulation



What you callin' it 

If you build it I will break it

What's wrong, how you doin'

Naa, save it

Gave a fraction of all I had to give

I guess I hold a grudge beacause you still got my rib, with cha

Beautiful eyes, and scrupulous lies

Now watch this circusclown run around in circles and try

Seems like all I get to eat is Hope

Girl if we got along better we'd be dope



Oh walls, they surround me

Lonliness has found me



And for as much as I complain

I'm lovin' it

And I only mention it so that I can rub it in

Wake up to the sunlike, shake off last night

Check what's left and try to get the rest right

Decision, splitting, headache, lifting 

Symptoms, matching, 

Mama was afraid of it

Knowledge of self ain't as evil as they made it

Call it what you want

If you build it they will break it

The plain, the truth, there's no substitute

But sometimes she wears a disguise- yes you do

A story teller deals with life not Hope

Girl if we got along better we'd be dope



And that's the sound that a dog will make 

When he's just been hit by a car

That's the tone that, hits close to home 

When the cocaine outlives the star

That the noise, that disrupts the boys 

When the q-ball packs the bowl

And these are the words that disturb the earth 

When I walk away with your Hope
