Before Hope Fails ( Original )

Mike Helms Music Presents: Before Hope Fails...

Far too often the story ends in tragedy'
if only we'd known how much they need our help..
if only they'ld let us in...
if only we' had seen...

For Christopher'


Lyrics: Before Hope Fails

What did your premonition tell
Has all your intuition gone to hell
I can see you need for more
But do you know what your left wanting for
Before you take that final step
Before you ever reach the fatal stage
I beseech you try again
I swear there's someone out there shares your pain
Does anyone know your pain

Before hope fail......Will you reach out
And grasp as life .....
Slips through your fingers
And clutch at her ....
To right yourself
And hold on tight.....
So you can carry on

Some emotions have no voice
Some get muffled by your drug of choice
You perform the silent scream
At a world as calloused as it's mean
Before you reach the precipice
Before you search amongst the chasms depths
Think what your going to express
When you can no longer take a breath
Before you can no longer breath
Before hope fail......
Will you reach out
And grasp as life .....
Slips through your fingers
And clutch at her ....
To right yourself
And hold on tight.....
So you can carry on


Are you living in silence.....
Are you living in silence
When inside your screaming and crying and railing and dieing...
and dieing
And living in silence.........
Are you living

Before hope fail......
Will you reach out
And grasp as life .....
Slips through your fingers
And clutch at her ....
To right yourself
And hold on tight.....
So you can carry on

Maybe I've been awake for too long and my sleep deprivation isnt interfering with my ability to appreciate this song.... But... I listened to the song, watched the video, and them read everyone's comments. My next reaction and thought was......did these people watch the same video I just watched? Because the one I watched is nothing like these comments. This is retarded ass song and lame ass video. I thought at first, that maybe this was a SNL skit video? Sadly, it isn't. This is a real s
