I hope my mother gets rich, and lives comfortable now,
and takes the love that she has to start loving herself,
I hope my sister grows and know how to forgive,
and knows all she endured gave her power within,
I hope my brother'll change and find peace in himself,
and see a piece of his heart is where he's seein' his wealth,
My little brother, he's stuck but I hope that he sees,
everything that's he done, he's done better than me,
I hope that my friends'll just mend their mistakes,
and face all'a the snakes without echoing hate,
And I hope we can grow and know emotions exist,
without coasting on pain like we hope it'll drift,
I hope that the world'll get structured and fixed,
to give all of us hope and only love'll persist,
I'm hoping to feel I'm not masking emotions,
but I'm actually happy, and I laugh cause it's real

CHORUS:
Distracted from pain cause we looking for hope,
Thinking we're sane cause we looking for hope,
No action happens cause we looking hope,
trapped in madness cause we looking for hope,
Distracted from pain cause we looking for hope,
Thinking we're sane cause we looking for hope,
No action happens cause we looking hope,
trapped in madness cause we looking for hope

I'm tryna' stay afloat, hope's drowning me slow,
cause my hopes aren't action to get outta this hole,
Whole families depressed, I'm stressed, trapped in my speech,
preach' "It's all right" like, "we'll get back on our feet,"
Empty phrases, break us to a cynical mould,
of finding warmth in words while we drift to the cold,
We frozen and hopin' light'll slowly exist,
but drift back to the cold, it's like hopin's a trick,
need action to change, but we focus on hope,
til' our focus is hopeless cause we know it's a joke,
that we play on ourselves, but still doing it like,
"I hope for the better" til' it bruises our sight,
Action is blurred cause words stuck in their hopes,
til' we choke on that phrase and stop lusting for growth
hesitation will eat you when you swallow this mould,
cause I call 'em excuses while you calling it hope

CHORUS:
Distracted from pain cause we looking for hope,
Thinking we're sane cause we looking for hope,
No action happens cause we looking hope,
trapped in madness cause we looking for hope,
Distracted from pain cause we looking for hope,
Thinking we're sane cause we looking for hope,
No action happens cause we looking hope,
trapped in madness cause we looking for hope
