lyrics

The Misplaced Optimism of the Doomed
—
"Pretty much my modus operandi. 'Yes, it is probably going straight into the void, do it anyway, and do it like it is the last thing you will ever do.’
If you can: be kind
if you can't be kind, be hilarious…
if you can do anything, be bold.”
—


I shine bright just like a jewel
I burn the past for fuel

I keep my heart right out in the open
I lay my soul bare for all to see
I pack light on my way to the airport
I’d like to think you cannot get to me.

I hold my darkness in like a chainsaw
Dark Passenger as the main MC
I clutch that light in my hands like a pickaxe
I guarantee you cannot get to me
You cannot get to me.

The misplaced optimism of the doomed

I shine bright just like a jewel
I burn the past for fuel

I keep my sights dead set on the future
Look for the light, everywhere I see
Not much point in cursing the darkness
I’d like to think you cannot get to me.

Eyes to the sky, searching for a sign
Encouragement or opportunity
Although the outlook may look quite grim
I guarantee you cannot get to me
You cannot get to me.

The misplaced optimism of the doomed
I guarantee you cannot get to me
You cannot get to me.

I shine bright just like a jewel with the misplaced optimism of the doomed.
