Kris Angelis - 'Misplaced Hope' - NPR Tiny Desk Contest 2020

My entry into the 2020 NPR Tiny Desk Contest with my song "Misplaced Hope" Shot and recorded by Lee Holbrook
LYRICS:
This torch I've been holding has all but burned out
The light has been swallowed by the shadow of doubt
Under ash it’s still hot, It melted my soles
Now my shoes are stuck there and my feet have gone cold

Stones and sinkholes litter uncharted land
Thought it could be worth it for gold we had panned
Guess this was a game we played just for fun
Love was a kingdom that couldn't be won

Oh my love
Don’t be afraid
All hope is not lost
It’s just been misplaced

I brought you a hive with words honey sweet
You hear the buzz and feel the sting of the beesYou Drew my heart All broken lines
Gave it back to me covered in vines

Oh my love
Don’t be afraid
All hope is not lost
It’s just been misplaced
Oh my love
Don’t be afraid
All hope is not lost
It’s just been misplaced

You don't like sad endings
So tell me how do you cope? 
The director who fires the actors
When it plays out just like you wrote

The horizon is veiled and I can’t hardly see
I didn't know which signs to believe
The city looks clear now through the glass of the cab
This film has no foley yet
But the score isn’t bad

Oh my love
Don’t be afraid
All hope is not lost
It’s just been misplaced
Oh my love
Don’t be afraid
All hope is not lost
It’s just been misplaced

I’m from India and this song has been on my playlist for over a year now and it barely has views on YT? It’s unfair. This is such an underrated song. Please get in touch with me if you wish to collaborate Kris.
