Hope Is Gone ft. Rootwords Lyrics

Before events where to hit, I could sense turbulence

Vibrancy of life, certain shit was to tint

Now we've entered the shit, what kind of adventure is this?

My life's black and white like a Tim Burton flick

That's a world without the color, some girl without her mother

Isolated in quarantine, both unsure about each other

And I'm outside, so they say that I'm reckless

They can stay in defenseless, fuck it, I'm making an exit

Open the vents, don't go with the trends

I can see my own father as a threat, if I didn't even know it was him

Cause true indeed every human needs a physical touch

Or they turn into miserable fucks, without women to hug

For damn sake, no handshakes, kisses or hugs, huh?

No visits or love, huh? Just missin' our loved ones

Wearing a mask while driving alone on the freeway?

A sheep? Great, can't no disease catch me man

Stores are shut, boarded up, everybody's bored as fuck

Been a loner all my life, sounds morbid but, it's sorta fun

No mask, no service, get rejected, it's weird

It's more about projecting their fears than respecting their peers

Why they inject us with a deep nasal swab?

If it's "highly infectious", yeah that might be the question

They might be against us

Obvious holes, no autopsies exposed

No bodies to show?

If this was all made up, nobody would know

The good little sheep would all follow the flow

What I hate more than this shit's when they fake more statistics

Isolation and lies to the nation make more of us vicious

Stress increase, ventin' ain't allowed yet, no outlet to release the tension

Entertainment industry decreased a smidgen

We're raw emotionally, look at what that causes socially

Laws are broken G, every time I cough openly

Soulless human faces

Hope is gone it's in their eyes

Moral compass breaking

Got too used to seeing lies

Pollution diminished

Clear waters in Venice

Consuming with limits

Wonder when this will finish

It didn't take long

To get back to before the inspiration of this song

Rev up your engines, it's on

And off again

Working from home

Got to check in with my boss again

I'm lost again

Where do I stand?

I don't know

I used to cross the border

Now it's a place that I won't go

I won't show my face in public

By force

I'm trying to work this out

But somebody's running

My course

When I try to gallop they pull on my reigns

I finally visualize all the invisible chains

Attached to my back

Pulling me back

The power that I lack

Is evident

The more I push forward when I react

Game over

The sheep aligned

They lowered

The evil eye

It's grey

The shadow overtakes

So great traitor's play

Now I've got to inject

To protect society

I've got to inject

To show respect to the eye on me

If I don't play the game then I'm a loser

Checkpoints set up around me

No place for me to maneuver

Free to roam outside of my home

With a paper

Free to use an app to check the status of my neighbors

I'm actually free to do whatever I want

So long as I got the papers to be whatever I want

Make me wonder

What is the difference from before?

We're back to the start at the losing end of the score

Defined by what is written down and not by who I am

Running out of cards in my losing hands

It's either death or life support

There's not much of a choice in that simple thought

With that in mind

I walk in for another dose

And leave that concept of freedom way behind

Soulless human faces

Hope is gone it's in their eyes

Moral compass breaking

Got too used to seeing lies

Soulless human faces

Hope is gone it's in their eyes

Slowly breaking

Slowly takes me down

It takes me down

It's harder now

Slowly breaking

Slowly takes me down
