Pennies

1. hope springs eternal
or so i've been told
but i know it's terminal
even hope gets sick, gets old

oh faith you fickle friend
you bargain and seduce
disguised like a goddamn godsend
just pretended to know the truth

ch: if it was lies why have I been 
holding all my breath in
waiting for the big exhale
i guess there comes a time to say goodbye to
throwing pennies in a wishing well

2. they say you can’t miss what you never had
here’s my objection
i’ll never miss something half as bad
as relying on the lie of reconnection

hope keeps a journal
but words are cannon fodder
grim reaps maternal
grim reaps daughter

repeat chorus
