In Despair Lyrics by Dayshifter

Hopeful // Regretful

2017

Waste away

A life so hollow
I wait patiently
And endure the outcome
I endure the outcome
Weather the storm
Cast aside my hope
As the years go by
The colours fade to black and white

Am I the son of mistake?
Am I a hopeless child?
A fucking disease?
A fucking disease

I can feel a weight around my neck
Could it be fate?
Oh faithless one
I can't see the forest for the trees
These blinded eyеs are a curse to me

Thеre's a means to an end
A light to a spark
And I've watched all I know
Come undone for too fucking long
They say it's sink or swim
But I was born to drown
They say to never give in
I'm so sick of being the one given up on

I can feel a weight around my neck
Could it be fate?
Oh faithless one
I can't see the forest for the trees
These blinded eyes are a curse to me

I won't be damned to this life
Spent burning bridges I will never rebuild
I won't be damned to this life
Spent burning bridges I will never rebuild

I found a weakness inside of myself
I'm just another mistake
I won't be bound
Bound to my grave
Bound to my grave
