Hope

Oh god, they did it, they really fucked it up this time I placed my last remaining faith upon the ballots of the blind Four years to find ourselves, four years to see where we went wrong All as this pied piper plays a siren song But if preaching to the pulpit is what tinted our eyes rose Then stripping off our safety may just save us from the throes I hope you suffer I hope you toil I hope the weight of your beliefs becomes the trellis for your foil I hope you wither upon your vine What you did for you and yours is now killing me and mine I hope you suffer I know you thought it out, you prayed about it, like you always do You weighed the "Great" against the hate and took a chance on something new So now you'll try, yes Lord, to justify and turn a blind eye Because it's harder to admit than to deny But like a toddler to a stovetop who's finger's must get burned This pain is the adhesive that helps hold the lessons learned I hope you suffer I hope you toil I hope the weight of your beliefs becomes the trellis for your foil I hope you wither upon your vine What you did for you and yours is now killing me and mine I hope you suffer And I hope you learn That the bridge that lay between us is the bridge you chose to burn It isn't easy to say that you're a friend When the lives we hope to lead are the lives you hope to end So now we suffer I bet Darwin never thought that evolution could reverse But here we are still screaming, "How could hell be any worse?" I hope you suffer I hope you toil I hope the weight of your beliefs becomes the trellis for your foil I hope you wither upon your vine What you did for you and yours is now killing me and mine I hope you suffer
