The Pessimist

[Verse 1] Half alive and stark-raving free A hideous god of a man You got what you want What more do you need? If I have to make my stand I will make you pay I can show you the way Just stay out of my way [Pre-Chorus 1] I will not become another pessimist I will not become another reason to hide [Verse 2] Skin is a game War is a prize of the flesh I know what I want But what do I need? If I have to take this chance I will take it today [Pre-Chorus 2] I will not become another pessimist I will not become another part of this [Chorus] I know why The consequence is by design And I know why We kill to keep our lives inside And I know why Everything wrong just feels so right And I know why The way I live will never let me die [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] What do I have to do To make you see? Your black of life goes gray I don't know what I want I don't know what I need If I have to save you, too That's the end of me [Pre-Chorus 2] I will not become another pessimist I will not become another part of this [Chorus] I know why The consequence is by design And I know why We kill to keep our lives inside And I know why Everything wrong just feels so right And I know why The way I live will never let me die [Outro] Will never let me die
