Hope For Tomorrow

Four empty bedrooms
A new line of debt
A street full of neighbors that I haven't met
I'm drinking while looking out this window to the west
I'm melting together all my hopes and regrets

The new years ringing in but I can't forget
this past years miseries, it's hurt and its dread
The storms gone by now, it's left us here wet
But the rain has just come along to wash our tears and our sweat

So plan for the future
And hope for the best
Balance your nightmares with a night full of rest
When it feels like the sun set years ago
The sun will still rise tomorrow

I've slowed down but I'll be damned if I stop
I only have a little. I didn't ask for a lot
It's getting exhausting out here on my own
I'm losing my mind, I think it's starting to show

It's not that bad to miss what I've never had
This beer isn't cold but it hasn't gone flat
I've been under a dark cloud, broken mirrors, black cats
But now I'm finding my footing so I can fight back

So plan for the future
And hope for the best
Balance your nightmares with a night full of rest
When the night demands that you hear it's warnings
The sun will still rise in the morning

Burn down my bedroom to stop what comes next
Hang on a cross, fulfill my savior complex
The morning's sunrise before the evening's sunset
Like hope for tomorrow before tomorrow's lament

So plan for the future
And hope for the best
Balance your nightmares with a night full of rest
Winter winds blow cold, but summer comes next
So I'll pour a drink for the sunset
