Faith In Strangers

by The Hobby

/

lyrics

I've been so angry at the world at large, society
Smack a bullet in my head, I need a reprieve
A permanent vacation, isolation
An ice cold bevvy in a new location
I had some faith, God what a stupid mistake
Cause every chance they get, they turn to spit in my face
I tried to reason with them, but they're out for blood
Think they can hear me complain', gonna cut out my tongue
I think I'm shaken up
I'm turning into a grump

I wanna say I'm doin' alright
No you shouldn't have asked
Cause I feel like each day's gonna be the last
Pent up frustration, losing my patience
It's taken so long to admit

I've been so angry at myself for all my ignorance
I guess I should've known better, should've made amends
With a cracked up and battered reflection
Of a future I wanted to see
You'll never have the power, give in to the flames
Watch it fall apart, leave shadows in its wake
The devastation, truth will set you free
Tell me why the truth has got the best of me

Don't make me say I'm doin' alright
You didn't have to ask
Cuz I feel like each day's gonna be the last
Pent up frustration, losing my patience
It's taken so long to accept that I was wrong
My faith misplaced
I wanna see the best in everything
But maybe there's some flowers that don't deserve a drop of redemption's rain
So how do I stop a spiral spun from existential strain
I hate to say
I think I'm shaken up
I'm turning into an asshole

They've got me caught in a rat race
They've strung me up in the gallows
I wanna find somethin' worth the cost of hanging on
They've got me caught in a rat race
They've strung me up in the gallows
I wanna find something worth the cost of hanging on

I'm so gutted
It's a lifetime of this
Selfish posture
Tell me why I'm hanging on

I've been so angry at everything
A never ending spiral of societal strain
Where ignorance can find a mix of hate
Just cut me lose and break the cycle
Just cut me lose and break the cycle
Just cut me lose and break the cycle
Cut me lose and break the cycle
Just cut me lose and break the cycle
