Dare To Be an Optimist
Here we fucking go
Was this your
Intention
A pawn for
Subjection
You're so demoralized
That you made someone just to terrorize
You're not the victim here
You're not what you appear
Look at what you've done to me
These scars speak for themselves
You said it yourself
I'd never understand
I'm being strung along
You'd rather point the finger than admit that you were wrong
You can't keep me constrained
One day I'll break these chains
Before your pride entangles me while you go down in flames
Keep balling up your fists
This kid can take the hits
If this is what it takes to win
Then break me bit by bit
I'm not just your mistake
I'm more than just a hook
That someone used to claw you in
I never asked for this
I'm not just your penitence
I could be so much more than you would let me be
But you can't accept that anyone but you could be so righteous so you keep believing that
I'd never understand
I'm being strung along
You'd rather point the finger than admit that you were wrong
You can't keep me constrained
One day I'll break these chains
Before your pride entangles me while you go down in flames
Here we go again
I won't let you control me
All I know
Is sorrow
It's hopeless
I feel so fucking powerless
I refuse
To sit here
And take this
Shut the fuck up
It's my turn to speak
Now I understand
You won't string me along
I'll break your finger off and point it back where it belongs
I'm no longer constrained
I've severed all your chains
And from this new horizon I'll watch you go down in flames
Was this your
Intention
A pawn for
Subjection
You're so demoralized
That you made someone just to terrorize
You're not the victim here
You're not what you appear
Look at what you've done to me
These scars speak for themselves
You said it yourself
I'd never understand
I'm being strung along
You'd rather point the finger than admit that you were wrong
You can't keep me constrained
One day I'll break these chains
Before your pride entangles me while you go down in flames
Keep balling up your fists
This kid can take the hits
If this is what it takes to win
Then break me bit by bit
I'm not just your mistake
I'm more than just a hook
That someone used to claw you in
I never asked for this
I'm not just your penitence
I could be so much more than you would let me be
But you can't accept that anyone but you could be so righteous so you keep believing that
I'd never understand
I'm being strung along
You'd rather point the finger than admit that you were wrong
You can't keep me constrained
One day I'll break these chains
Before your pride entangles me while you go down in flames
Here we go again
I won't let you control me
All I know
Is sorrow
It's hopeless
I feel so fucking powerless
I refuse
To sit here
And take this
Shut the fuck up
It's my turn to speak
Now I understand
You won't string me along
I'll break your finger off and point it back where it belongs
I'm no longer constrained
I've severed all your chains
And from this new horizon I'll watch you go down in flames
