The Chosen Pessimist
Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Tell me which side I'm on (who is friend or foe)
Approaching constant failure
Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
(Slowly)
In many ways, I'm the burden
That divides us from the light
In many ways, you're the halo
That keeps my spirit alive
Temptation
Play the good or evil part
With me, you evoke the dark
Erase, my free will, and, watch me heal
Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep, balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
Bemused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive, will I fly from here?
But as the chosen pessimist
I, I carve my name in stone
I, I carve my name in stone
Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive, I fly from here
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
Approaching constant failure
Tell me which side I'm on (who is friend or foe)
Approaching constant failure
Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
(Slowly)
In many ways, I'm the burden
That divides us from the light
In many ways, you're the halo
That keeps my spirit alive
Temptation
Play the good or evil part
With me, you evoke the dark
Erase, my free will, and, watch me heal
Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep, balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
Bemused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive, will I fly from here?
But as the chosen pessimist
I, I carve my name in stone
I, I carve my name in stone
Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive, I fly from here
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
