Abandon Hope

I can't assimilate
I can't ingratiate myself to the hand that I've been dealt
I feel like I'm a rose that's been left to wilt
Shriveling I decay

If life is a game I'm fucking it up
Abandon hope I'm giving it up
So many lies I cannot keep track
So far gone there's no turning back

When I was 13 I wrote songs of all my hopes and dreams
At 36 I'm lucky I can feel a fucking thing
Too many times I've fallen every time I've gotten up
What doesn't kill you further fucks you up

If life is a game I'm fucking it up
Abandon hope I'm giving it up
So many lies I cannot keep track
So far gone there's no turning back

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul is weak
Nail me now onto the cross
And kill me now all hope is lost

All hope is lost
All hope is lost

Tell me why
Do we try to obtain
Happiness in all this suffering
Tell me why
Do we exist
In this world that doesn't give a shit

Tell me why
Do we exist
In this world that doesn't give a shit

Tell me why
Do we still invest
In this society that we detest
Tell me why
Do we design
A system that bleeds us all dry

My anxiety consumes me I can't sleep at night
There's so much more that I feel I should have done with my life
Delusions of grandeur fading now what is left
Just this empty feeling in my chest

My anxiety consumes me I can't sleep at night
There's so much more that I feel I should have done with my life
Delusions of grandeur fading now what is left
Just this empty feeling in my chest

If life is a game I'm fucking it up
Abandon hope I'm giving it up
So many lies I cannot keep track
So far gone there's no turning back
