Hoping,
You're hoping.

When it comes, when it comes, it comes as a gift,
But when it leaves, but when it leaves, your soul gets sick,
When it comes, when it comes, it comes as a blessing,
But when it leaves, but when it leaves, you know it's testing,
When it comes, when it comes, it comes as compassion,
But when it leaves, but when it leaves, your soul is forsaken,
When it comes, when it comes, it brings benevolence,
But when it leaves, but when it leaves, you know you gotta,
Find away to kill it, so you don't hurt anymore,
Find away to kill it, so you don't hurt anymore.

You're hoping for something to come along and give you,
You're hoping for something to come along and give you,
You're hoping for something to come along and free you,
You're hoping for something to come along.

Utopia slowly mutates into a callous abyss,
Where everything is shrouded in the most faithless mist,
The veil of wretchedness smothers any signs of bliss,
Now all seems lost in the land of the forsaken,
But you search for salvation in the dark and barren state,
You look for some light to come and alleviate,
Coz you know it's there waiting beyond the shadows of time,
You know time is the healer in the future of the mind.

Coz when it comes, when it comes, it comes as nirvana,
But when it leaves, but when it leaves, there's no more happy ever after,
Coz when it comes, when it comes, it's emancipation,
But when it leaves, but when it leaves, you know you gotta,
Find away to kill it, so you don't hurt anymore,
Find away to kill it, so you don't hurt anymore.

You're hoping for something to come along and give you,
You're hoping for something to come along and give you,
You're hoping for something to come along and free you,
You're hoping for something to come along.

The saints become tarnished by the clouds of resentment,
Now they all seem so wretched, dirty and unrepentant,
Coz sometimes when you give it all, compassion can seem so damn cruel,
Leaving you all abandoned, feeling like a hapless fool,
Coz desire has a cunning way of making you feel the strain,
Coz when you're attached to love, god damn, you're attached to pain,
You're attached to pain, you're attached to pain.

You're hoping for something to come along and give you,
You're hoping for something to come along and give you,
You're hoping for something to come along and free you,
You're hoping for something to come along.

Find away to kill it, so you don't hurt anymore,
Find away to kill it, so you don't hurt anymore.

Hoping,
You're hoping.
