The Optimsit

[Chorus]

This band ain't big enough

For the bad decisions of the both of us

The dirty dishes are piling up

To the point that no matter the angle

I can't fill my glass

So how am I supposed to know

If I'm still an optimist anymore?

Lately I've been feeling rough

Is my glass still half full, there is no way to tell

[Verse 1]

I've been hiding awake in this space

Since we played the show on Monday

It was everything that I dreamt it could be:

I stood on stage with such confidence

Singing songs that I wrote in the very space

Where I am sat right now feeling opposite

Art shouldn't always be synonymous with performance

Try writing somеthing beautiful with you as the sole audiеnce

Look after your old body and be kind to your drained brain

Sleep if you need to, eat well, and understand it's okay to do this

[Verse 2]

Introversion is not a sin, interspersed invincibility

Understand that instability will not always define you

Well although, it is fine to lean into the parts that make you 'you'

Give yourself a little time to be small, too

I'm at an eating biscuits for cheese

Without the cheese level of low

I'm at an eating biscuits for cheese

Without the cheese level of low

[Verse 3]

I've been trying to read

But my attention was shot back in my teens

I wish it was through drugs

And not staring at little screens

I'd happily trade some brain cells for some stories

Some fucking real life memories

Good luck out int he world, none of us were prepared for it

I rearranged this room to give the illusion of a study

I always said that if this became my job

Then I would make it

Now I'm worried about the rent but I am lucky

[Extended Chorus]

This band ain't big enough

For the bad decisions of the both of us

The dirty dishes are piling up

To the point that no matter the angle

I can't fill my glass

So how am I supposed to know

If I'm still an optimist anymore?

Lately I've been feeling rough

Is my glass still half full, there is no way to tell

(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

There is no way to tell

(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

There is no way to tell

(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)

There is no way to tell
