Wretched Hope

Don't Give Up Hayley Jane
He'll fall in love yet
You need longer hair
But smoke less cigarettes
Maybe if you try hard enough-
Maybe if you act smart enough.
So put on your makeup,
An impressive disguise,
You'll not need much more
Than your packet of lies
Propaganda for the masses
Watching as the short time passes

Maybe he will get the idea
He'll finally see that you're real
Maybe he will get the idea
He'll finally see that you're here

Don't give up little girl,
There's still a small hope
Amongst the old shackles,
The stone and the rope
Just another crucifixtion
It's not salvation
It's just addiction
You'll need some more paper
You'll need a new pen
Because when you're down there,
There's no coming back
Kiss him once befre he goes
You pretend that he could know

Maybe he will get the idea
He'll finally see that you're real
Maybe he will get the idea
He'll finally see that you're here
You're here

Paint the roses red
With a lover's blood
Let's hope she isn't dead;
Or she cannot love
Cut the cord and run,
Let's hope she stays alive
Living is twice the fun
When you know you're gonna die.
You're gonna die.

Maybe he will get the idea
He'll finally see that you're real
Maybe he will get the idea
He'll finally see that you're here
You're here
I'm here
I'm here
