Optimist's Nightmare Paroles

You're totally broke at some idiot's expense

With every action comes equal consequence

As the ball keeps rolling, and drags you to the ground



A little mistake can burn a building down

The bigger you are the harder you can fall

When your glass half empty spills to water



Desert soil


Why can't they pick on someone their own size

Spend a day screwing up, and they eat your sorry life

Until they get to fat, to raise you to their mouth



Anything free has left you far behind

You schedule your own sentence and lock yourself for life

In an ever-growing prison where you're occupying



Every cell

And now you live in hell

All the keys have lost themselves and you want to...



Woah-----

As your foundation crumbles, and sinks beneath your soul, again

You look out

And see the rising sun's horizon is a blur

Of hope



You wake every morning and wince at how you feel

The bruises and the cuts just never seem to heal

Because you go, go, go, and you watch the world just

Pass you by

Before you start to cry

And then you start to wonder why, and you feel like

You go, go, go, and you watch the world just

Pass you by

Before you start to cry
