High Hopes

Driving over these hills
Five miles closer to no where
I'm leaving my body behind
Too young to be satisfied
We've got high hopes
High hopes
Dropped off my sister
She quit her job last week
Mountains in the sky
Form a parade with no reply
To the endless questions that torment me
We've got high hopes
High hopes
We've got high hopes
High hopes
There's no turning around
No backing down from this
All the Christmas trees adorn your neck
All the planets are chanting
We're dancing on the precipice
Of something I don't understand
It's bittersweet because we need it
We're high!
Illumination damned
Embraced by mystery
We've got high hopes
High hopes
We've got high hopes
High hopes

Machine Isolated
Skin encapsulated
Pulse in the bloodstream
You can barely feel it
I dreamt of her singing
Our lips slowly meeting
Suddenly alive
Hallelujah
Time might break us
She's a ghost
Haunting the neutral ground
Drifting through street cars
Muses strike up a tune
Melodies and phrases
Are forming
Life is taking shape
She never stays
A thief for the night
Alive
Hallelujah
Time might break us
