Hopeless Bleak Despair

i never knew what everybody meant by endless, hopeless bleak despair

Until one day when i found out

The first time i ever left my house

It saw me and followed me home

And stayed with me for my whole life



For years and years i wandered the earth

Condemned to a life of bleak despair

Then one day i looked around and found

It had disappeared



All this bleak despair

It was always there

And then one day it disappeared

In a puff of smoke

In an unceremonious way

One day it disappeared



All i had ever wanted in my life was only to be free of it

It drove away my family

It made me lose my job

Whenever anybody saw it

They'd say get out of here



For years and years i wandered the earth

Sick of my life, looking forward to death

The one day i looked around and found

It had disappeared



All this bleak despair

It was always there

And then one day it disappeared

In a puff of smoke

In an unceremonious way

One day it disappeared



For years and years i wandered the earth

Until i died and went to hell but my

Despair had ascended to heaven

That's how i finally got rid of it
