The Optimist

from Live Session @ UMFM Studios by Soapbox

/

lyrics

I spend my time
painting over the imperfections
while the walls crumble underneath

speculating the implications
of my imploding beliefs
imploding beliefs

try, try, try,
to come out unscathed

try to remain the optimist
in this war we're always gonna miss
try to remain the optimist

waterfall ran dry
the grass grew high with great depression
while the roots died underneath

speculating the implications
of your growing misery

try, try, try
to come out unscathed

try to remain the optimist
in this war we're always gonna miss
try to remain the optimist

the trees will die
and all this falling down around me
has got me feeling alone

the trees will grow and all this
coming up around me has got me
saying hello

try to remain the optimist
in this war we're always gonna miss
try to remain the optimist
