lyrics

I AM A CYNIC and I hate myself for it. But I can’t seem to find a brightness anywhere in this tunnel where we’ve locked ourselves away with apathy; feeling devoid of purpose. As if our very existence is sickness and hope only resides in the hearts of the naïve. And has no place in the realist. We live as if our existence is sickness, like every breath breeds disease. My hatred for the world as it is today is conspiring with my fear that it may never change. Pushing me into a bleak reality where the silver lining is cracked and as far as I can see, there’s no way out of this now. But I fight to keep my head held high. But tangible motivation is few and far between, or at least less conspicuous than discouragement. Now hope is all I have left. But is it enough to rely on a feeling? Or is there something I’m missing? Something I can’t see through all this negativity surrounding me. I hope to uphold all this hate I’ve atoned but “I know [that] we cannot live on hope alone.” So I’ll cling to my anger. Let hate flow. Hope will grow. My hatred for the world as it is today is conspiring with my fear that it may never change. Pushing me into a bleak reality where the silver lining is cracked and as far as I can see, there’s no way out of this now. It’s so hard to think positively, but I refuse to accept this world as it stands right now. And I know that the power of change is in my hands, but I can’t even fathom a place to start. I just know that this apathy isn’t helping anything. Because “it is not hope that gets you involved with the struggle, it is getting involved with the struggle that brings you into hope.” DON’T LOSE HOPE.
