Lyrics Hope of the States

Hope of the States

Bonfires

It's speeding up around me

But my heart is slowing down until it stops

This train is off the rails

The devil's in the details

No one notices

There's bonfires in my head

There's criminals in my chairs

No one notices

I'm desperate and lonely

The hospital is empty

No one notices

It's not enough to say 'I'm sorry'

For all the pain and the worry

What are you waiting for?

Give up on me and leave

It's not enough to say 'I'm sorry'

For all the pain and the worry

What are you waiting for?

Give up on me and leave

So I saw the house is empty

The people gathered round and spat at me

You're the family we hated

Not the only one who waited for the end

There's bonfires in my head

There's criminals in my chairs

No one notices

And I'll lead them off the edge

I'll drown them in the dead sea

Now they're noticing

It's not enough to say 'I'm sorry'

For all the pain and the worry

What are you waiting for?

Give up on me and leave

It's not enough to say 'I'm sorry'

For all the pain and the worry

What are you waiting for?

Give up on me and leave

It's not enough to say 'I'm sorry'

It's not enough to say 'I'm sorry'

For all the pain and all of the worry

What are you waiting for?

Give up on me and leave
