Hope, You Whore Lyrics

As an outline of a daydream, had you only loved me that way

Could've told me; I would've understood

To the rhythm of your interest, I will easily unfold

And make you promise to remember me as good

As the day pours into nighttime

With the sweat atop your skin so brightly gleaming

I will heave a heavy sigh

You're the torrent in this rainstorm

Left me soaked, but what is more

Hope looks a fool now, she's an ever-loving whore

You promised me the earth, that's what you gave me

A pretty little box of constant gravity

And hope, she's left too sore to even argue

Hope you whore, hope you whore, hope you whore

Hear the whisper of the turnpike

In the middle of a midnight drive, you swerve as I convince you to slow down

I say "baby, don't you worry, I just wanted someone near me

Someone breathing, unbelieving, bound to die"

You'd warned me quite precisely of your offering

That bitter little box of constant gravity

condolence is too swollen now to argue

Hope you whore, hope you whore, hope you whore

We will meet there at the fulcrum

Though I'm shaky I will hold you down

Command that you spill what I am to do

On the one hand you're my killer

On the other I still dream of you

Forgiveness treats us kindest when it's new

You'd promised me exactly what you gave me

A pretty little box of constant gravity

And hope, she's left too sore to even argue

Hope you whore, hope you whore, hope you whore

In an elegy of silence, the tornado of your violent ways

Won't hesitate to lose me from its grip

I'll be thrown out to the shoreline

Where the sand and sea meet every time

Eroding one another by the wind
