I found it difficult   To be a storytelling failure   For all those years   Living was a challenge   That caught me so off-balance   And passed me by      Repeatedly, I stared my future in the face   She walked away   Her silhouette confirming my worst predictions   She walks away      Hope is just four disconnected letters   Combined and put together   By a disconnected man who missed the point   My life was just a promise that I uttered, then I broke it   And admitted as we all went up in flames      So I made a resolution that I'd pay back planet earth   And I would send out this faded portrait   Maybe we would all live on   We'd soar on      So I strapped it to a rocket and I sent it into space   Praying someday you would find it   Maybe we would all live on   We'd soar on      In all my years existing   As a storytelling failure   For all those years   I waited for a miracle   On a planet based on push and pull   And nothing changed      And one day, someone spoke inside of me   "Young man, rise and make your mark"   So today I will be free   With no one there to see   With no one there to see      Hope is just four disconnected letters   Combined and put together   By a disconnected man who missed the point   My life was just a promise that I uttered, then I broke it   And admitted as we all went up in flames      (So I made a resolution...)      So I made a resolution that I'd pay back planet earth   And I would send out this faded portrait   Maybe we would all live on   We'd soar on      So I strapped it to a rocket and I sent it into space   Praying someday you would find it   Maybe we would all live on   We'd soar on      So I strapped it to a rocket and I sent it into space   Praying someday you would find it   Maybe we would all live on   We'd soar on
