The Absurdity of Hope

Lyrics

‘I am a man, and nothing human is alien to me’

I lived by that quote at liberty
A life with the world at my feet
This all ended at 23
My ignorance came to the fore

When I was made aware of the Damoclese Sword
Physical degeneration, can I take much more?
Internally I’m shaken to the core
There is no cure and they’re sure

[Chorus] The Absurdity of Hope
I never had a reason to ask the question why
Cos the opening quote to me is not a lie
The paradox of being born to die
Yet we keep on singing without knowing why
Questions were asked, near delirium arose
As to the life I’d now lead and in to which clothes
The questions without answers again and again
They’re tears in my eyes not just singing in the rain

There is no cure and they’re sure

(Chorus)

Who am I now and where do I go?
Has Dante written my horoscope?
Run away, as I’ll never know

My marriage, my mortgage, my morals, I lost them all
Through pain, tears and anger I would learn to know
a future that I dare not water and grow.
Ah the eternal absurdity of hope
where the silly cyber man comes to cut the rope
My nerves I’m sure they cannot cope
I no longer need that horoscope
There is no cure and they’re sure

Chorus x 2

‘I am a man, and nothing human is alien to me’

I lived by that quote at liberty
Turn the page and it’s still me
