Hope and Peril Lyrics

Hope says she'll never settle down
Wants to keep collecting jewels for her crown
She lines her heart with stones and covers up the cold
One for every place she's been and where she'll go

But she knows there's no way around the words
She won't trade anything that's hers
So she keeps her head to the ground
and holds out for higher scores, high scores

Peril says he's tired of working
Sick of all the dull and same that he's been serving
He wants a rain to come and wash away his home
A way to clean the ground and let him start alone

But he knows there's no way around the words
He won't trade anything that hurts
So he keeps his head to the ground
and holds out for higher scores, high scores.
