"Hopelessness" lyrics

Who are you? I don't understand
I was seventeen with the world in my hands
God, I really hate this, and all you have to say
You think you know me, but I'm not the same
I don't have to fight it, not on every day
And win or lose to hopelessness, but in a different way
I don't mean to fail you, but I'd leave it all behind
The brass is loud and breaking, but I'll sing it one more time

So let me down slowly
So let me down slowly

I don't wanna stay up, I'm a letdown
Screaming in the back seat, wishing I was home now
I don't wanna give up, that's a cop-out
Living off the bad heat sticking to my clothes now
It's like every other week, what a long year
When I look around, it's like everything's my worst fear
I don't wanna stay up, I'm a letdown
Screaming in the back seat, wishing I was home now

So let me down slowly (Screaming in the back seat, wishing I was home now)
So let me down slowly (Screaming in the back seat, wishing I was home now)
So let me down slowly
So let me down slowly

It's like every other week
It's like every other week, what a long year
When I look around, it's like everything's my worst fear
It's like every other week, what a long year
When I look around, it's like everything's my worst fear
It's like every other week, what a long year
When I look around, it's like everything's my worst fear
Everything's my worst fear
