Hopelessly Hopeful Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Staring eyes wide open
Gazing into nothing
Running in a place again
Going through the motions
In and out as the oceans
Repeating (–peating)
Numb to the silence
To the absence of emotion
The sum of the script
Nothing but a click in the rotation, yeah
Sick of the peace of mind
That goes along with keeping on
And I (can't keep on keeping on)

[Chorus]
It feels like I'm stuck here suspended
At best underwhelming
What's wrong with me? (with me?)
My conscious is calling
But the world isn't all
It's cracked up to be
I'm hopelessly hopeful! (hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)
That I'm not stuck here suspended
In a world, I pretended
Was right for me (for me)
For me!

[Bridge]
(Ohh, wohh) (What's wrong with me?)
(Ohh, wohh)

[Verse 2]
Strung out on the same old
Got an itch for something painful
To feel something real once
To remind myself it's not in my head
Sick of the calm coinciding with
Sticking in and with the line
Can't keep on keeping on

[Chorus]
It feels like I'm stuck here suspended
At best underwhelming
What's wrong with me? (with me?)
My conscious is calling
But the world isn't all
It's cracked up to be
I'm hopelessly hopeful! (hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)
That I'm not stuck here suspended
In a world, I pretended
Was right for me (for me)
For me!

[Bridge]
(Ohh, wohh) (What's wrong with me?)
(Ohh, wohh)
(Ohh, wohh) When I close my eyes
(Ohh, wohh) When I leave the light

[Chorus]
Inside it feels like I'm stuck here suspended
At best underwhelming
What's wrong with me? (with me?)
My conscious is calling
But the world isn't all
It's cracked up to be
I'm hopelessly hopeful! (hopeful, hopelessly hopeful)
That I'm not stuck here suspended
In a world I pretended was right for me (for me)
For me!
