Hope and Fear

Halfway done
Or so you think
Until you look at what’s left to do
All for none
You’re on your own
To solve this case without a clue

Here I come
Once again
Never learn
Just keep comin back for more
Falling fast
I never last
Landing on a concrete floor

Life and death
One leads to the next
And all the earth just fades away
Hope and fear
It’s all so clear
This tortured wretched game we play

Fall away
Can’t face the day
Despair has grasped your every breath
Its all for naught
You just get caught
And bide the time until your death

Follow me
Let’s be free
Ignore the world just for now
Run away
Face the day
Realize we’ll make it through somehow

But life goes on
You just move along
Lose your pride and learn to know when you’re wrong
No regrets
Place your bets
Then let go and make sure they’ll know when you’re gone
