Smothered Hope
[Verse 1]
Withered rope, you hang what's empty
Can't remain to put it simply
In time cry the hollow words
To sing with false disguise
Smothered hope, fly from sorrow
For a new divine tomorrow

[Chorus]
I just don't want to know anymore
Life shifts up and down, everybody knows it's wrong
Life shifts up and down, everybody knows it's wrong
Life shifts up and down, everybody knows it's wrong

[Verse 2]
It's not in the rhyme or reason
So it goes with every season
Crawl to top, fall through bottom
First hand love is really rotten
Slice of life, find what's plenty
Inch towards a sanctuary
Light with me inside the womb
I know everyone, everybody knows it's me
It's your voice, your voice cries out hypocrisy
Sightless eye regard my past sometimes it should
[Chorus]
I just don't want to know anymore
Life shifts up and down, everybody knows it's wrong
Life shifts up and down, everybody knows it's wrong
Life shifts up and down, everybody knows it's wrong

[Post-Chorus]
Why don't you care?
Life shifts up and down, wrong

[Bridge]
Sell your soul
Sell your soul
Sell your soul
Sell your soul

[Outro]
Smothered hope
Sell your soul
