The Optimist

I lost my head in all the confusion

Have I become so numb to everything

Wanna stop the world and just kill the conversation

Try to walk the line to find some peace of mind

I'm searching for a silver lining

But I feel like a dying breed

Running out of lies to believe

If life is a dream wake me

When it comes to pointing the blame

Everyone's got something to say

Screaming for change but staying the same

Expecting the cycle to break

I don't want your cure

I don't need your savior

To give me a sign of life underneath

I just need to know how to heal the hollow

To keep the optimist alive in me

I'm falling from pride

Tripping over the fault lines

Knowing all this time that silence doesn't make a sound

When it comes to pointing the blame

Everyone's got something to say

Screaming for change but staying the same

Expecting the cycle to break

I don't want your cure

I don't need your savior

To give me a sign of life underneath

I just need to know how to heal the hollow

To keep the optimist alive in me

I don't want your cure

I don't need your savior

To give me a sign of life underneath

I just need to know how to heal the hollow

To keep the optimist alive in me

Is there a cure

Is there a savior

Is there a sign of life underneath

I need to know how to heal this hollow

And keep the optimist alive in me
