What Hope Have I?

by Katie Benoit

/
1.
I wanted to protect you from the hell that life can serve. I gave you my trust. I gave it my all. Was this what I deserved? Thought you loved who I was inside, not to be taken for a freak. Now I'm walking on eggshells for fear of the pain of not being believed. CHORUS: What hope have I in things that remain unseen? I cannot pretend that I am a machine. Blithely looking where to go so I can remain me. Walk a path that most won't go that leads to the heart of me. I can't sustain your lifeforce that's pounding against me. It's all too much for me to bear, this permanent disease. You shrug me off, tell me to leave as if I was one of your whores. I grab my s*** and my memories as I walk out of your door. Chorus Solo Chorus 2x

about

This is a "radio edit" preview of an upcoming remix single. This song was created as an initial demo in 2009, and I wrote some lyrics in 2019.

It's very much a quintessential break up song, but very traumatic in nature. There is no pleading, no hopefulness of a resolution here. Just a simple break to freedom.

As someone who's been in an abusive relationship before, I've lived through this experience myself. When things seem hopeless and it feels like there's no way of escaping the mental and verbal abuse, sometimes you simply have to walk away.

Music from the mind of Cadence Benoit. I create music in various styles & genres because I get bored easily. My primary focus is on electronic music. Although my older music is more pop, my newer music is leaning more in different directions.
