The Well Of Loneliness

You sit still inside a well where you wish all well be well

You're silently dreaming what no tongue can ever tell

This is the world of loneliness, oh, this is the world of loneliness

And, oh, broken promises where you have decided nothing changes

I once thought fame and romance could drag me out of hell

But they have only chained me here in a lifelike prison cell

They are many, we are few

There's not much that we can do

In a world of no hoping

There's no point in hoping

In a world of no hoping, there's no hope

There's no point in hoping

This is the world of loneliness, oh, this is the world of loneliness

And, oh, broken promises where you have decided nothing changes

They promised me paradise if I fell under their spell

Glazed-eyed passive citizens took them very well

This is the world of loneliness, oh, this is the world of loneliness

And, oh, broken promises where you have decided nothing changes

Could these sleepers ever wake or have we come too late?

They have done such a good job on them down there in the well

They are many, we are few (I see no way out, I see no way out)

There's not much that we can do (I see no way out, I see no way out)

In a world of no hoping

There's no point in hoping

In a world of no hoping, there's no hope

There's no point in hoping

In a world of no hoping, there's no hope

There's no point in hoping, is there, hope?
