Hopeful

Seventy BPM. Hopeful. It’s slow, man, but we still moving forward. The alarm hits hard, but I get up off the floor, Stretching out the sorrow, opening a new door. The sun’s breaking through the window pane above me, A little light creeping in, hoping that it loves me. Yeah, the road behind was paved with heavy stones and fears, A graveyard of ambition, and a flood of bitter tears. But I’m wiping the slate clean, grabbing the fresh pen, ‘Cause if you got a pulse, you got a chance to try again. The forecast said a storm was hanging heavy on the town, But look up at the ceiling, the rain ain’t coming down. Yeah, I’m hopeful, seeing the silver line, Leaving the old darkness, making the future shine. Got that vision, yeah, a brand new design, Every single struggle just a story that I left behind. I'm hopeful, watching the fog ascend, Knowing that the worst of it is coming to an end. My feet are on the pavement, feeling the concrete ground, Listening to the city start to make its hopeful sound. Every passerby’s a journey, every face a different script, And I’m just trying to make sure that my own ship doesn't flip. The anxiety is knocking, yeah, I feel it in my chest, But I tell that demon, "Man, you’re never gonna pass this test." I got armor made of maybe, and a shield made out of might, Gonna take the little flicker and turn it to a light. The mountain’s still high, but I’m ready for the climb, I know I'll reach the top, it just takes a little time. Yeah, I’m hopeful, seeing the silver line, Leaving the old darkness, making the future shine. Got that vision, yeah, a brand new design, Every single struggle just a story that I left behind. I'm hopeful, watching the fog ascend, Knowing that the worst of it is coming to an end. Hopeful... the fog ascends. Hopeful... this ain't the end. It's just the start, yeah, a new design. Everything's gonna be fine. Gonna be fine...
