"The Optimist" lyrics
"The Optimist"
Oh how I've longed for silence
(You were calling for evening)
You won't believe the year I've has
(It falls) behind these pulsing eyelids (Here it is)
I saw the truth, the ever-haunting truth
Dear one
(I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now)
I am opening myself for you
My bones ache from any vibration
(I will never forgive myself)
No one else could show me how
It's almost over now)
The lies I've kept to vindicate
Relapse to self destruction
To save myself I imitate a man of pure devotion
Dissect my palms to simulate a fragment of emotion
Primary urge to mutilate
I'm moving in slow motion
Dear one
(I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now)
I am opening myself for you
My bones ache
(I will never forgive myself)
No one else could show me how
It's almost over now)
From any vibration
Dear one
(I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now)
I am opening myself for you
Dear one
(I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now)
I am opening myself for you
Dear one
(I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now)
I am opening myself for you
I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now

My Enemies & I - "Parables" Do you know the difference
Between being alive
And letting your heart burn out?
Breathing becomes a chore
And these empty spaces
Leave nothing but room for doubt
Inside your head
You've been trying...
The Home Team - "Jimmy On The Radio" I tossed and turned in bed
Trying to remember every word you said to me
Was I supposed to walk away
From everything I'd ever hoped to have someday?
I thought you could become my cure
The fix to all...
Wind Walkers - "Sincerely, Me" So here I am once again writing to your my dear
I just need a way you can't talk back your point of view
Searching for words, erasing the slurs
I'm waiting in an aged café where I sought shelter from...
Beyond Unbroken - "Under Your Skin" Patiently waiting for me to let you go
Seeing that you can't breathe
Is such a thrill to me
Violently breaking you down
Lead you astray
Everyone's so amused
Bright eyes to see the truth
OHHHH
I...
