Selling hope to the hopeless

Verse 1

Empty cabinets and peeling paint

You prayed until your knees gave out

Hungry eyes that flicker in the hall

Tracing shapes along the cracked drywall

Pre-Chorus

Trading dimes for some relief

Finding solace in the short term

I see the shaking in your hands

Searching for a better place to land

Chorus

Selling hope to the hopeless

Just a dose of the gold light

Bottle it up for a price

Something to get you through the long night

Selling hope to the hopeless

Keeping shadows from the door

Post-Chorus

Higher

Way higher

Yeah

Get a little bit

Verse 2

Streets are freezing by the bus stop

Waiting for a miracle to show

I offer sugar coated lies to swallow

Make a path for you to follow

Pre-Chorus

Trading dimes for some relief

Finding solace in the short term

I see the shaking in your hands

Searching for a better place to land

Chorus

Selling hope to the hopeless

Just a dose of the gold light

Bottle it up for a price

Something to get you through the long night

Selling hope to the hopeless

Keeping shadows from the door

Post-Chorus

Higher

Way higher

Yeah

Get a little bit

Bridge

Maybe I'm just a phantom

In your fever dreams at three

Giving you something real to feel

Holding onto what could never be

I sell it back to you

I sell it all to you

Chorus

Selling hope to the hopeless

Just a dose of the gold light

Bottle it up for a price

Something to get you through the long night

Selling hope to the hopeless

Keeping shadows from the door

Post-Chorus

Higher

Way higher

Yeah

Get a little bit
