Lyrics
The Ardent Optimist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Since infancy a void
Has plagued my existence
Attempts to disregard such anguish
Only magnified the hollowness
So many years
Have came and went
Without a single trace of you
This half a man, with half my heart
Who I've been searching for
Since I could walk
And still I hold on
To faith that we shall meet again
I'll stay forever strong
Until the day I find
Where I belong
This broken child
Collapses forth
In desperation
Come in, make this life complete
And stay forever more
The memory of you now
Seems like fading moments
Passing by
Like senseless dreams
That beg to wake me
From my comatose reality
Disposed of precious love
As though none was ever needed
Addiction over blood
The time has come to rectify
What you have done
This passage is the fruition
Of a life confession through song
Reaching out, holding on to the hope
That you will make me whole
