Chasing Claymores - The Optimist Lyrics
Was slowly eroding,Consumed without knowingNow regainingConsciousness from its long sleepHanging on, both eyes closedIt kills me everytimeI lost my reasons in the truthForgotten what is left behindLike a father who gives up when he chose not to stayOr the preacher in the church who abandons his faithI lost myself but now I am returningThe optimist in meWas slowly eroding,Consumed without knowingNow regainingConsciousness from its long sleepWhen it's said and doneI will take my chancesYour expectations won't get the best of meFacing my fearsLooking back is enoughRetracing my stepsWhich way should I go?Like a father who gives up when he chose not to stayOr the preacher in the church who abandons his faithI lost myself but now I am returningIt hasn't gotten any easierI fought with everything I haveNobody promised much of anythingI'm still not sure if this will lastI've lost my faithAnd only failure followedMy dreams, my worldCrushed by circumstanceI found my wayOnly pride was swallowedOpportunity presents itself once againThe optimist in meWas slowly eroding,Consumed without knowingNow regainingConsciousness from its long sleepWhen it's said and doneI will take my chancesYour expectations won't get the best of me
