Atreyu - A Song For The Optimists lyrics

Blow the last candle out

Let the wax harden

I wish I could stop crying

I wish that someone still loved me

Just breathe and focus

How can I when the air is so cold and empty

That my lungs froze right in my chest?

I'll be honest

The silver linings

Are getting harder and harder to manufacture

And the smiles are so difficult to fake

I'll be honest

The silver linings

Are getting harder and harder to manufacture

And the smiles are so difficult to fake

What do I have to do

Or who do I have to kill,

To get what I want...what I need?

What do I have to do

Or who do I have to kill,

To get what I want...what I need?

Happiness is an emotion

I was born to this world without

Nothing pleases me

I can never be satiated

Through this toil, I will breed my own distress

And destroy my best hopes

F*ck up the only things (that I love)

I watched my aspirations crash into the ground

On the backs of the angels that I've slain

But I meant so well

I tried to hard

Gave every bit of my soul

To what end?

To what end!?

Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away

Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away

Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away
