}}'''"Leaving Hope"''' is the final song of ''[[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]'' era, closing off ''[[Still]].'' It is a slow-paced, layered [[:Category:NIN Instrumentals|instrumental]] with an extended fadeout at the end.
It uses a synthesizer pad built from samples of [[Trent Reznor]]'s voice, also utilized in "[[The Frail]]."
In December 2005, Reznor granted a gratis license to an advertising agency to use the song in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHXqbb8yVv4 public service announcement] to promote a mental health hotline for those affected by Hurricane Katrina.
The piece shares its name with Reznor's former music publishing entity. A source for both uses of the name is potentially the film ''Pumpkinhead'', which features a sign using the phrase. Reznor and company noted the influence of horror cinema on previous works, adding to the likeliness of this source.
