Hope Springs from Somewhere

The days stretch out into endless fever dreams
I could sleep all day and I will, but there will be no reprieve from exhaustion
Spent years thinking I had years, but now everything's fragile or shot to hell
Now I keep wasting time trying to clarify and define my life, but everything seems like a blur

But I wake up again
And things aren't so meaningless
There's a life to live and a world to rejoin outside

Hope springs from somewhere
There's a new day and I'm alive
Hope springs from somewhere
There's a new day and I'm alive

Hope springs from somewhere
What more could I ask for?

Keep wishing for sleep to come and take away pain but nights are too restless for it to be helpful
Trying to focus on future days even as I'm mired in the moment
Old songs and memories are friends that watch over me and everyone's close by
I'm fucked, I'm exhausted and I'm scared but I'm feeling oddly lucky to be alive

But I'm not leaving yet
Staying up playing chess with death
For so many years I was so hopeless, now hope is the only thing keeping me alive

Hope springs from somewhere
There's a new day and I'm alive
Hope springs from somewhere
There's a new day and I'm alive

Hope springs from somewhere
What more could I ask for?

Here comes another day, here comes another day
Here comes another day, here comes another day
It's not much, but hope's a start
