Hope Rides Alone

I am an unhappy man
I was built with no purpose beyond just to satisfy
The tireless thoughts of these curious minds

But what went wrong
They sought to tear me apart
They tried to stop this mechanical heart of mine
I was never enough to ever be loved in his eyes

[Chorus]

Have you forgotten me
Did you erase what you've done
How could anyone
Accept a broken son

Hope rides alone

There's now another one like me
Cradled in my father's arms
Like the golden boy he's built to be
Someday, somehow, someway
I will make them pay for all of his mistakes

What is life
What right has he have to decide
Am I so much of a failure in his mind
I am more than he could ever be
I proudly wear his disgrace

[Chorus]

Have you forgotten me
Did you erase what you've done
How could anyone
Accept a broken son

Go on and abandon me
Erase every trace
Set fire to everything

How could anyone
Accept a broken son

Let the mad doctor rebuild me
There's no going back
Let him arm me to the teeth
I bring hell with me
On broken wings

Is there no joy to be found in this life
I no longer can call it mine
It's no longer mine

Hope rides alone
