born again pessimist
Embracing a Pessimistic Rebirth
Lyrics
I took an easy ride
I chose an easy path
So the world could pretend that I'm superior (pretend that I'm superior)
So the world can falsely perceive me as superior
You'd have an honest man
If you took the time, you'd find an honest man
If you took the time to wire up my jaw (wire up my jaw)
Wishing for understanding, asking for patience
I fell asleep in the backseat
I fell asleep in a carefree state
Fuck, it was so sweet
It was enjoyable
I ran a red like I saw a matador, yeah
I disregarded rules like facing a bullfighter
The sun might melt
The sun might disappear
Whilst you wait for my arteries to thaw (my arteries to thaw)
While waiting for my arteries to thaw
I'm taking you to war
I'm leading you into a conflict
I'm taking you to war
-I'm never gonna spill my guts
I won't reveal my deepest feelings
It feels like death by a thousand cuts
It feels like gradual emotional pain
So when the here and now holds me down
When the present overwhelms me
I fall apart
I break down
I don't wanna talk too much
I prefer not to speak too much
I'm never gonna stop yeah, I love this crutch
I won't stop; I have an affection for this coping mechanism
So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round
So if I surrender, don't look back
God bless my big empty heart
May God bless my emotionally vacant heart
I'll only lose my head if I stand too close to hysteria
I'll only lose control if I get too close to hysteria
And if it took your breath
If it took away your breath
Then I'm betting that I focused on the flaw
I focused on the imperfection
So go and set me in concrete, I'm just a deadbeat
So encase me in rigidity, I'm just a failure
You always said I'm the wolf that's at your door
You always labeled me as a threat
I would drown myself
I might end my existence
But the thirst would have me coming back for more
But the desire would bring me back for more
I'm never gonna spill my guts
I won't reveal my deepest feelings
It feels like death by a thousand cuts
It feels like gradual emotional pain
So when the here and now holds me down
When the present overwhelms me
I fall apart
I break down
I don't wanna talk too much
I prefer not to speak too much
I'm never gonna stop yeah, I love this crutch
I won't stop; I have an affection for this coping mechanism
So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round
So if I surrender, don't look back
God bless my big empty heart
May God bless my emotionally vacant heart
God bless my big empty heart
-I'm just a born again pessimist
I am a reborn pessimist
I'll only kick you from the precipice
I'll only push you away from danger
Come follow me, we'll march on heaven's gates
Come with me, we'll challenge fate
I'm never gonna spill my guts
I won't reveal my deepest feelings
It feels like death by a thousand cuts
It feels like gradual emotional pain
So when the here and now holds me down
When the present overwhelms me
I fall apart
I break down
I don't wanna talk too much
I prefer not to speak too much
I'm never gonna stop yeah, I love this crutch
I won't stop; I have an affection for this coping mechanism
So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round
So if I surrender, don't look back
God bless my big empty heart
May God bless my emotionally vacant heart
My big empty heart
My emotionally vacant heart
My big empty heart
-My big empty heart
-God bless my big empty heart
May God bless my emotionally vacant heart
