It's the hope that kills.
Hope, that in the morning
As you wake up all dreamy
A ray of sunlight will glint
in your eyes and it will click.
Like Magic.
Sunshine will travel through
your thoughts like a tide
and touch that dark room
in which I reside.
All ball and chains.
The warmth will melt all
my chains and set me free.
I will rise and course through
your veins, you'll see.
A new me.
Alas, I know it's just a dream.
For that room doesn't exist.
The dream is mine, not yours
The ball and chains are mine,
not yours.
But, it's the hope that kills.
