Hope Centre

Lyrics

[INTRO]
In a place where shadows creep,
East Van's got secrets buried deep.
Tangled thoughts, fighting for the light,
But the devil whispers, “Not tonight.”

[VERSE 1]
Spiked my Arizona tea, feelin’ bold,
MDMA turned the world to gold.
But in the psych ward, the walls closed in,
Thought I could fly, but it’s where I’ve been.
Doctors’ orders, tried to dull the pain,
But the more I fought it, the less I gained.
Telepath in a world that’s deaf and blind,
Reading thoughts, but they ain't kind.

[CHORUS]
It’s a bad neighborhood, echoes call my name,
Trying to break free, but it’s all a game.
Cars honking, chaos in the street,
Got my mind racing, can’t find my beat.
East Van’s got a vibe that’s cold and cruel,
Living in a dream, but I’m nobody’s fool.

[VERSE 2]
Damn East Van, dark clouds overhead,
Thought I'd find peace, but it's all in my head.
Mousey’s out here causing all the noise,
Cops and sirens, ain't no real joys.
Hope Centre’s prayers just ring hollow,
Trying to fill the void they can’t follow.
But at the center, I met Bradley’s shine,
Got that Kiarmin flow, and it’s feeling fine.

[CHORUS]
It’s a bad neighborhood, echoes call my name,
Trying to break free, but it’s all a game.
Cars honking, chaos in the street,
Got my mind racing, can’t find my beat.
East Van’s got a vibe that’s cold and cruel,
Living in a dream, but I’m nobody’s fool.

[BRIDGE]
Doctor McDonald with that Norm vibe,
Lifted me up, got me feeling alive.
Karma’s coming back, got that cosmic score,
Learned the hard way, now I’m searching for more.
In this broken land, I’m piecing it right,
Finding my way back into the light.

[CHORUS]
It’s a bad neighborhood, echoes call my name,
Trying to break free, but it’s all a game.
Cars honking, chaos
