lyrics

HOPE

What is left to say
Our vocal cords are dry
Waiting for the unrelenting
Quite ordinary uninspired

The arch of their eyebrows
The rise of the nose
The purse of their lips
We are no longer stricken with...hope, hope

We don't see the face
Screenshots been erased
Instead we’re building space for kindness
No sorry from you then
Funny how that ends
Wasnt til we stopped
We saw
We were the only ones that dare

Hope…hope..hope..hope

If I lie on the grass in the sun
Over there
With my arms out wide
To either side
Will the words fall from the sky
And land in the cradle of my heart

So I lay on the grass
With my arms out wide
And i waited
For the sky
But instead the words
They welled up inside
“I see you seeing me”
what is left to say

but hope….
