Hope is a Human Lyrics

Hope is a human, a wise undoing

Says "you'll get through this, baby"

I've been crying to laugh these days

Hope's got a gentle gaze, and she's been painting me

In new light; a blessed child

A body wild and free

A figure fit to carry me

I stand her last disciple

Unfit to cycle through the throes of loving someone

So when I least expect it

Hope and her gentleness sneak up behind me

Stand in moonlight, yells back "the water's fine"

Her body wild and free; a figure fit to carry me

Yes hope's the whore I go to

She walks me through it all

Wise cracks and smacks me down

Right to the bed that I had lain there with you

Screws her own gentleness and leaves me wide eyed, guessing

For she's a sworn off angel

In all her carelessness she'll leave you blistering

And high, as if recycled

A faithful know it all; a creature basking in the

New light; a blessed child

A body wild and free; a figure fit to carry me

Yes, hope sure is a human

She's warm and glistening, I climb into her skin

See in light a blessed child, a body wild and free

A figure fit to carry me
