The Optimist Within Me

I don’t know the difference between love and sorrow
My optimist opinion for the brave new world we’re searching for
But I’ll stand here holding your head under water
And as you slip away
Please remember this, I’ve always hated you

I don’t know the difference between lies and chivalry
And you’re blood red cold
And the brave new world was gone
but I’m still standing here watching you die
Wishing your torment would last
And as you slip away
Remember I’ve always hated you

It pains me not to see you cry
In fact I am overjoyed watching your pain
It pains me not to see you there begging
For your miserable life to be saved
The fact is I feel nothing, more than I’ve ever felt before
And I feel no shame at all

Love and sorrow
Useless and absurd
And for a dead man we have long observed
I’m still standing here holding your lifeless corpse
In one hand
And it’s time to bid our farewell

It pains me not to see you cry
In fact I am overjoyed watching your pain
It pains me not to see you there begging
For your miserable life to be saved
The fact is I feel nothing, more than I’ve ever felt before
And I feel no shame at all
