Hope is for Losers

Dreams are just where you left 'em...
Bloodied,broken and face down to the ground.
Hopes are just where you left 'em...
Motionless since 1994

You are too hopeful
You are so hopeless
Hope is for losers

I didn't know we were gambling
when the cards all burned in my hands.
It takes me where I'm going...
falling down or crawling like a tear.

You are too hopeful
You are so hopeless
Hope is for losers

It's so pathetic to see try whatever I'm tryin'
It's so pathetic to see me do whatever I do
It's so pathetic to hear me say whatever I'm tryin' to say
It's so pathetic...

Ends are just where you started
Happiness was born already dead
Illusions are where you left 'em
Left to rot right in the wrong hands

You are too hopeful
You are so hopeless
Hope is for losers.

The Slow Process of Giving Up

When I bleed my words are blood
When I breathe the air is smoke
When I drink is fire
When I think I'm burning
When I stick my fingers deep in the wound I find that I've left some hate
Is time for you
now
to go and find another slave
and I know you'll find the way

I put my back against the wall
I'm afraid of blinking
I don't dare to turnaround

I think I just heard the sound of a new begginning
but it chooses letting me down.
And I know you'll find the one
and I know you'll find the way...

I try to fill this empty space
It feels like walking thru a maze
And it takes me lower
to a place I'm sober
eventhough I made a toast for the road and my glass was full of haze

Is time for you
now
to go and find another slave
And I know you'll find the haze
but I know you'll find the way

I am waiting on the side of this lonely highway
I know there's no one coming back
I put my wings inside a box
'cause I've been so empty lately
I don't even have to escape the pain,
not anymore,
'cause I am nothing,
just like you...
