Optimism

What's so great
About goddamned honesty?
You don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna say it
So let's just let it be

I used to lie
And I did so happily
Now thinking takes it toll
Adds gravel to my soul
I act so desperately

And you'll never know the truth
Standing patiently beside
When you're looking for another kind of proof
Another way to hide

I can be
My own worst enemy
I wish that I was stronger
I wish that I had longer
To mend and polish me

I'll take a stab
At positivity
Imagine good things follow
Don't worry that it's hollow
You dumbass S.O.B.

And you'll never know the truth
Staring kindly with both eyes
When you're looking for another kind of proof
I don't mean to patronize

Optimism
Optimism
Optimism
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo

What's so great
About goddamned honesty?
You don't wanna hear it
I don't wanna say it
So let's just let it be

Must everything
Weigh so heavily?
Taking things real easy
Making life real breezy
Should be the way to be

And I'll never know the truth
Staring straight into my eyes
If I'm looking for another kind of proof
