Hope, where have you gone? I've been runnin' far Across ocean landscapes Sailing out passed the coast guard Hope, where are you now? Just when I needed you You left me for a crown Left me for a jewel Left me for a crowded room So, I'll stare that big black horse in the mouth And tell him all I wanted to say Show him the bags of all my doubt Things hidden away But I am scared And alone And I am torn I'm tearin' apart at the seams Feel my thread bare skin Warm from winter wind Weathered by the rain And temporary moments Leaving permanent stains So, I'll stare that big black horse in the mouth And tell him all I wanted to say Show him the bags of all my doubt Things hidden away But I am scared And alone And I am burned And terrified Oh, what has become of me? (?) Of what I'm becoming So, I'll stare that big black horse in the mouth And tell him all I wanted to say Show him the bags of all my fears and doubts Things hidden away (INSTRUMENTAL)
