A Song For The Optimists lyrics

Blow the last candle out,

Let the wax harden

I wish I could stop crying

And I wish that someone still loved me

Just breathe and focus

How can I, when the air is so cold and empty

That my lungs froze right in my chest?

I'll be honest, the silver linings

Are getting harder and harder to manufacture

And the smiles are so difficult to fake

What do I have to do, or who do I have to kill

To get what I want, what I need?

Happiness is an emotion I was born to this world without,

Nothing pleases me

And I can never be satiated

Through this toil I will breed my own distress

And destroy my best hopes,

Fuck up the only things that I love

I watched my aspirations crashing to the ground,

On the backs of the angels that I've slain

But I meant so well, I tried so hard,

Gave everything in my soul,

To what end, to what end?

Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away
