Lyrics
I, Pessimist
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.
I give thanks to the way you move
'cause I'm workin' for a total blackout
The sun used to be one of my favorite drugs
Looks like that one's gonna kill us all
Dissappear, disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear, way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
I'm runnin' on a great big tank again
But how long 'til I crash?
And then this tank's gonna burst again
Bring me down on my bare hands
Dissappear, disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear, way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
Dissappear, disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear, way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
And they say my soul is still alive
In the eyes of God
And maybe livin' is not enough for me
And they say my soul is still alive
In the eyes of God
And maybe livin' is not enough for me
Dissappear, disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear, way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
Dissappear, disappear
I don't need this body
It's so clear, way too clear
I'm not here with my mind
