Hope

You want to trust religion
And you no longer care
But they're saying, "Don't be frightened"
And you no longer care
And you're questioning the sciences
You're looking like an idiot
You're thinking don't be frightened
You want to see forever
And you know it's allegory
You're trying to see through it
But the people who are followers
You really can't believe it
And it doesn't seem to matter
And you want to go forever
That you dreamt of alligators
A built-in mechanism to protect you
You want to climb the ladder
I'm lost in the confusion
You want to go forever
And you want to cross your D N A
You see it in my eyes
You know that it sounds childish
Their procedure is the best
And questioning religion
'Cause you want to climb the ladder

To cross your D N A with something reptile

And he bled 'til Sunday night
And the intern was a mess
You're looking like an idiot

And it doesn't make sense
And they did the same to Matthew
And you hope that it's a spaceship
You want to go forever
You want to go out Friday

And you hope you're recognized

And you're looking for salvation
Have written their own story
And they're killing alligators

You lock into a pattern
And accepting of the struggle

You want to trust the doctors
You hope that we are with you
And you know that it's the last ditch

So you look up to the Heavens

And you want to go out Friday
They're saying, "Don't be frightened"
But the last try was a failure
But you're weakened by the sight of it
And you're looking for deliverance
And you hope it's getting better
And you want to bridge the schism
And it's something from your childhood
And they're hog-tied
