"There's Still Hope For You" lyrics


THE EFFORT LYRICS

"There's Still Hope For You"

He was filled with years of abuse
While she was just trying to cut loose
And I can still hear them fucking
On the dirt cellar floor of old shed
That's off limits
With the locked rotting doors
And did you tear up when ma and pa said
They would tear it apart?
Do you still hear her moans
Now that you've only locked out the doors
Because I meant what I wrote back in 9th grade
You were both too immature
For the decisions that you had made

I know that truth may have struck a hard note
But it hurt me more to know I had to lie
So you would stop
Asking me with tears in your eyes
"Son, is this how you've always felt?"
And pleading
"I've only done the best I could
With cards that I've been dealt
All this world has done is eaten me up
And spit me back out
I'm a product of my surroundings, and someday son
You'll understand what this is about."
I'm left swaying with anxiety
And wishing that you really meant it
But deep down inside of me
I knew that you treated us like shit
Because you were full of shit
Yourself

That's when I thought
About the all obsoletes in this world
And I asked myself,
And I asked myself
"Why were we born this way?"
And I asked myself,
And I asked myself
"Will we really die this way?"
And I asked myself,
And I asked myself
"When will this hostile world start seeing things in gray?"

After all the songs
I have written for myself
And all the lines I tried to give my generation for help
I still feel like there's this hole inside my heart
That only a parent's love
Could have filled from the start
Dad, I never thought
I would write something to encourage you
And I never thought I'd say
That there is still hope for you
But now I'm pleading
There's still hope for you
