Hope

Your shadow walks faster than you
You don’t really know what to do
Do you think that you’re not alone?
You really think that you’re immune to it
It’s going to get the best of you
It’s going to lift you up then let you down

It will defeat you
Then teach you to get back up
After it takes away
All that you learned to love

Your reflection is a blur
Out of focus but in confusion
The frames the sun did burn
At the end of a roll of delusions
A ghost waiting its turn
And now I can see right through it
It’s a warning that nobody heard

It will teach you
To love what you’re afraid of
After it takes away
All that you’ve learned to love

But you don’t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

You better hope you’re not alone

Your echo comes back out of tune
Now you can’t quite get used to it
Reverb is just the room
The problem is that there’s no truth to it
It’s fading away too soon
Your shadow is on the move
And maybe you should be moving too
Before it takes away
All that you’ve learned to love
It will defeat you
Then teach you to get back up

Because you don’t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

You better hope you’re not alone
