lyrics

I once thought my life was on a downward spiral, there was no reason to smile.
But pessimism is so passé
I have lived through unspeakable trauma, life’s a bitch and I’m her mama.
Needed to find a way to stay.

I know it’s easier said than done.
Believe me, no one knows it like I do.
And this is not advice, rather a story from my life.

Feelings don’t last forever, we’re not gonna ask for better.
We have to seize it for ourselves.
It’s hard to hold on when there’s nothing to cling to,
Hope’s our only savior and she lives in you.

We all know the cost of the U.S. empire.
They’re throwing bodies at the fire,
And expecting us to cope.
Consumerism will not get us through.
That goes for doomerism too.
I think it’s radical to have hope.
