hopeless from cardinal_EP by HOKES

I HOPE IM NOT HOPELESS
COLORED CLOUDS LOOK PRETTY, BUT ITS FOG
WHAT ITS BEEN ALL ALONG
I GOT MY SPECIAL ONE
DIGITAL IMAGES, THROW IT OUT
OR MAYBE BOTH AND GO ABOUT
I ACT LIKE I GET IT ALL
BUT I DO, I CAN PROVE IT
ONLY FOCUSED ON THE MUSIC
I KNOW ITS JUST A LIE
DOESNT MEAN I DONT WANT IT
PULL CLOSE, AND IM ON IT

AND I DO
FAMOUS LAST WORDS
DRINK UP, ROOM TEMPERATURE IS HEALTHIER
A BURN NEVER HURT FOR LONG
SCARS SHOW IM MOVING ON
EVEN IF ITS SELF INFLICTED
IN RESPONSE, I FROZE ANYTHING I DIDNT WANT
OF COURSE, KEEPING IT PRESERVED
I DID WHAT I DID
AND I GET WHAT I DESERVE
IT IS WHAT IT IS
SPENT YEARS WITH MY BACK TURNED
BREAK WHAT I MEANT, TIL THERES NOBODY LEFT
POSTED UP IN MY VEST LIKE IM PREPPED FOR AN ATTACK
BUT I ALWAYS SHOVE ON AND GET NOTHING BACK
NOTHING TO RETURN TO IF I GET TOO OFF TRACK
LIVING LIKE I GOT TIME TO VEER OFF AND MAKE IT BACK
AND I DO
I SEE THRU THE FLAT SURFACE
KNEW EXACTLY WHERE THE WORDS WENT
PROMISED ID MAKE IT OUT ONE DAY, AND I MEANT IT

IF I BREAK THE CEMENT, I CAN MEND IT
SAID IF I BREAK THE CEMENT, I CAN MEND IT
GETTING OUT THE HOUSE I COMMEND IT
SAID IF I BREAK
THE CEMENT
I CAN MEND IT
