Hold Out Hope for Me

In these lonely rings, four-foot′s cold embrace House feels like a void, just a desperate place You pushed me here, now I'm frozen in the quiet The hammer is poised to break this deaf′ning silence Search for handles of my color✦, but see only gray Slipping away Hold out hope for me, for me Though it feels like a fantasy Just believe, just believe Hold out hope for me It was better last end, more joy for sure Me and my friends came together to score But we only tied the game, and lost the hammer Now we're questioning this extra end, but haven't found the answer They peeled away our dreams And it′s down to me Hold out hope for me, for me Though it feels like a fantasy Just believe, just believe Hold out hope for me The friends I have relied on have been scattered all directions Ain′t nowhere to hide, I'm exposed without protection Call it a steal✦ but it would really be a gift The only chance I have now is for a total miss My time is drawing near, target broom is on the ice The path they have is clear, no need tell the vice Skip cleans off the stone, determination in their eye Push off the hack, release is pure, they let the hammer fly Time is up the die is cast✦ I can see the end The rock is sliding down the path just they way they planned Don′t look away when contact comes I'll proudly make my stand Shake their hand. For me
