Killer of Hope

Swear I'm gonna break free

From the grip of sin

From that killer of hope...

'cause all I see is that killer of hope.

Well, did I ever think to think?

I didn't even try

I should have listened to the wise

Now its too late - I knew better

There's nothing good here

And it's time that I put this out-

All I am to you is another doubt

I don't believe in nothing

I don't believe that I care

Don't try to make me do it

All I need is just a little push, not a shove

And I'll get off the fence in a while...

She's the killer of hope

With a conscience that is clear

She understands I'm just a man

With a common fear

She's just what I need to forsake

But it's not that easy

[x1 How much more can I take?]

[x2... not supposed to be]

Now that I know her

I am never looking back

I've been beat up, I've been spit out,

I know ****, jack...

She may be my killer of hope

But if she calls my name now

I ain't going back

So now it's up to me

The future that I see

My spirit growing dark

And I fear (Oh God, I fear)

The moment that I try

My moment wants to die

Swear I'm gonna break free

From the grip of sin-

From that killer of hope
