Lyrics Not Hopeless - Nakatomi Plaza

Not Hopeless

Waiting for the time
Wait for motivation
Waiting for the world to stop
So i can catch my breath
But the system carries on
And history keeps repeating
These patterns stitched inside the lining of our culture
With water-logged limbs
I stay pressed to the couch
Paralyzed with knowing that there’s nothing we can do
So leave this cartoon on
So i can get to sleep tonight
Try to keep our eyes closed so we’ll see no evil
We’ll march on
Searing our apathy into their flesh
Their bones crack
Beneath the economic motivations
Economic missionaries
Export their faith
Preaching the words of their gods
«Behold!
the free market!
Bow down to our dollar!
Bow down to our dollar!»
Complacent
Say 'progress'
We don’t question if it’s true
Now it’s too late
Souls stained by blood so thick it soaked right through
Can’t shake this floating feel
Nothing feels like real
Nothing feels
Looks as though we’re stuck here
I think that’s a lie
Stop feeling isolated
Stop hoping start screaming
