Hope Dies Last

Hope dies last

I've been living this life
That seems to have no meaning
Sometimes I wonder
If I should keep breathing

The things I seem to experience
Holds only hate and pain
People around me causing it
I'm silently going insane

Beauty is only skin-deep
Which is what some people seem to miss
Sometimes Hell looks like a better place
Than living in chaos like this

I'm walking around aimlessly
Trying to escape my past
I'm finally giving up but please remember
My hope died last
