Abby Travis - Hope lyrics

Bring me the poison that rots in the vein I've tied off my arm, where's the dope? I already know the first one is free So bring me the drug that they call hope Bring me the burglar who deals in my dreams I offer my neck, where's the rope? I'm up on the stool, just one little kick It's only a foot or so to hope Now that the warden's locked the children in the closet When they're weak enough the screaming's gonna stop So I'll take comfort in the silence of the chamber Knowing soon enough the pellet's gonna drop Here comes the thief who has stolen my past As vision and reason elope I've got nothing left to sell but my soul For the transient fix that they call hope Pardon my staring in bald disbelief As silence greets my stethoscope My expression is set and frozen in stone In the chilly museum they call hope
