lyrics

(Devin & Nat)

Now that I have no hope
Ask me, am I hopeless?
No, but I used to be.
Hell no, but I used to be

(Otem)

No hope, clenched throat, enveloped in black smoke
Petals plucked, laid bare, my brutal, at the end of my rope
Known for being unknown
I never made any ripples
And now the well is spent and nobody carries nickels
Sometimes beauty peaks in the valleys of a graceful defeat
Sometimes it's best to recognize details in the incomplete
Delete them demons, swimming thick in the meat of meaning
Hands bleeding, trying to de-fragment the feeling

Now that I have no hope
Ask me, am I hopeless?
No, but I used to be.
Hell no, but I used to be

Winter swells in the black ink Hell
But oh well
Sometimes I can't tell whether memories fell or demons dwell
Keep me guessing
Words a mess in a brand new summer dress
Stay stressed over forgotten situations
Don't obsess
A blessing and a curse, inverted reality & unrehearsed
Coming back to the same situations with new blood, caution and patience
But I'm still waiting, the cycle of man feeling more and more dated
Bullying values, like are we recycled or just wasted?

Now that I have no hope
Ask me, am I hopeless?
No, but I used to be.
Hell no, but I used to be

Where does hope lie, a resonant chamber where men fight?
An infallible fiction where things are alright and nobody dies?
It hits hard, like old scars of calcified flesh
No hope left
Nope
Just felt better when removing the mesh
Petrified stress, stuck in stone or deboning the mess
I digress, just trying to extract the marrow from the chest
And that's life
Trying to carve a sculpture from a dull knife
Never abandon the fight until you're satisfied it's right.

Now that I have no hope
Ask me, am I hopeless?
No, but I used to be.
Hell no, but I used to be
