Hope

A Chapter by Almost Alive

Fourteenth lyric

We did this so we could live
While in the dark we knew all along
That whatever was written
Would never be enough

To satisfy our own desires
Of self destruction and demise
You can keep on having faith
I can keep on believing that

It's so hard to walk when the blood gets to your knees
And the shame braces tightly to your chest
In a place with no horizon or light
Or anyone else to remember what is like
To not have a heart that is frozen as mine

When will our throats stop screaming?
Let's just go on and find out
That there was no salvation after all
And we were just told we wouldn't die

But I can hear you say
Over and over again
You can say that you will save me
But you're the one that needs help

It's so hard to walk when the blood gets to your knees
And the shame braces tightly to your chest
In a place with no horizon or light
Or anyone else to remember what is like
To not have a heart that is frozen as mine

I can't take a single step more
While you keep on running farther away
I'll stay and drown inside my own remorse
You can go on and see what's beyond the darkness
"This is the corridor of salvation
Our salvation"

It's so hard to walk when the blood gets to your knees
And the shame braces tightly to your chest
In a place with no horizon or light
Or anyone else to remember what is like
To not have a heart that is frozen as mine

There's just no hope for us damned
There's just no hope for us cursed
There's just no hope for us sinners
There's just no hope for us dead...
