About

Ogre wrote this song about his pet mouse, Hope, that he unintentionally smothered with his pillow as a kid (hence the name “Smothered Hope”). Of course, he felt like shit for this. Life isn’t fair.

Smothered Hope Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Withered rope you hang what's empty
Can't remain to put it simply
In time cry the hollow words
To sing with false disguise
Smothered hope fly from sorrow
For a new divine tomorrow

[Chorus]
I just don't want to know anymore
Life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong (x3)
Why don't you care?
Life shifts up and down wrong
Now do it seem fair?
Life shifts up and down wrong

[Verse 2]
It's not in the rhyme or reason
So it goes with every season
Crawl to top, fall through bottom
First hand love is really rotten
Slice of life find what's plenty
Inch towards a sanctuary
Light with me inside the womb
I know everyone, everybody knows it's me
It's my voice, my voice cries out obscenity
Sightless eye regard my past sometimes it should

[Chorus]
I just don't want to know anymore
Life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong (x3)
Why don't you care?
Life shifts up and down wrong
Now do it seem fair?
Life shifts up and down wrong

Smothered hope (x15)

[Sample from Shadow of a Doubt, 1943]
The world's a hell what does it matter what happens in it (x4)
The electric chair (x3)
