lyrics

I entrusted my eyes only to you, and nothing could be further from the truth than the lie that I told when I said that, "I hate you." You see, four years is a long time to start thinking straight, and following that straight and narrow line to walk away from you is never what I wanted to do, but I did it anyway. "You're more alive now," that's at least what I tell myself, and I just need you to know that I always meant well even when you'd roll your eyes or cry yourself to sleep like the night at my parents when I asked you to leave because I needed time to think and clear my head. "You'd never do this," I said, but everything changed when I felt the choice you made with a man who's ink you thought would cover up your self leaning actions and give you a place for a night for your tired and spinning head. I'm over it now, but your absence I've tried to fill has only made it grow worse and I hate it. I used to spend a lot of nights wondering, while you were high out of your mind, if you thought about us and all the good times all the while I was trying to drink myself to death. A bottle would give me a taste on my lips that would slightly resemble yours on mine, but without any sort of romantic twist it was never really worth my time. I'm ok now, mostly, and time does heal most wounds, but what you left were multiple scars and nothing will every help my minds eye keep me apart from them. I loved you, and I know I sound pathetic, but I really wish you weren't the way you are now, and I wish I would just forget it. This uneasiness won't ever seem to rest, and after everything you said, if you called me at 3:00 am, I'd still answer for you.

A Hope For This Baltimore, Maryland

My name is Kevin MacDonald and I'm not sure whether to call this a "band" or just a "project".
The meaning of the name for this is quite simple: we all have a hope for something. Your "this" is different from my "this", and everyone else's, too, but the fact remains that we all are hoping for something in our lives at one point or another, and that's worth holding on to. Never lose your hope. ... more
