HOPE
[C]
you want to go out friday
and you go forever
you know that it sounds childish
that you've dreamt of aligators
you hope that we are with you
and you hope you're recognized
you want to go forever
you see it in my eyes
I'm l[F]ost in the confusion
and it doesn't seem to matter
you r[C]eally can't believe it
and you hope it's getting better
you want to trust the doctors
their procedure is the best
but the last try was a failure
and the intern was a mess
and they did the same to Matthew
and he bled 'til sunday night
they're saying don't be frightened
but you're weakened by the sight of it
you l[F]ock into a pattern
and you know that it's the last ditch
you're t[C]rying to see through it
and it doesn't make sense
but they're sa[F]ying don't be frightened
and they're killing alligators
and they're h[C]og-tied
and accepting of the struggle
you want to trust religion
and you know it's allegory
but the people who are followers
have written their own story
so you look up to the heavens
and you hope to see a spaceship
and it's something from your childhood
you're thinking don't be frightened
you w[Em]ant to climb the ladder
you want to see forever
you w[C]ant to go out friday
and you want to go forever
and you w[F]ant to cross your dna
to cross your dna with something r[C]eptile
amd you're qu[F]estioning the sciences
and questioning religion
you're lo[C]oking like an idiot
and you no longer care
and you wa[F]nt to bridge the schism,
a built-in mechanism to p[C]rotect you
and you're l[F]ooking for salvation
and you're looking for deliverance
you're l[C]ooking like an idiot
and you no longer care
you want to climb the ladder
you want to go forever
you want to go out friday
you want to go forever

Lyrics:
you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.
you know that it sounds childish
that you've dreamt of alligators.
you hope that we are with you
and you hope you're recognised
you want to go forever
you see it in my eyes.
I'm lost in the confusion
and it doesn't seem to matter
you really can't believe it
and you hope it's getting better
you want to trust the doctors
their procedure is the best
but the last try was a failure
and the intern was a mess.
and they did the same to Matthew
and he bled 'til sunday night
they're saying don't be frightened
but you're weakened by the sight of it
you lock into a pattern
and you know that it's the last ditch
you're trying to see through it
and it doesn't make sense
but they're saying don't be frightened
and they're killing alligators
and they're hog-tied
and accepting of the struggle
you want to trust religion
and you know it's allegory
but the people who are followers
have written their own story.
so you look up to the heavens
and you hope that it's a spaceship
and it's something from your childhood
you're thinking don't be frightened
you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever
you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.
and you want to cross your dna
to cross your dna with something reptile.
and you're questioning the sciences
and questioning religion
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care.
and you want bridge the schism,
a built-in mechanism to protect you.
and you're looking for salvation
and you're looking for deliverance
you're looking for deliverance
you're looking like av idiot
and you no longer care.
you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever.
you want to go out friday
you want to go forever.
