The Phoenix Within - Pessimist

Oh my god, I can’t control or contain what’s unchained Something has changed and it won’t be denied Tossed to the side or left out to die
Don’t you think for a second you’re safe
I’ve given in to the voices within
To the forces unsess, to the dark and obscene
I can’t help but feel like I’m a parasitic worm draining every ounce of your life

I am just a pessimist, the more I know the less I see Expect the worst, assume the hearse
Critic and judge to make things worse

I’ve sharpened my teeth, discarded the weak
Let out the demons hiding beneath, they were hiding beneath, always hiding beneath
I can’t help but feel like I’m a parasitic worm draining every ounce of your life and your worth ‘till you’re one with the earth and the dirt

I am just a pessimist, the more I know the less I see Expect the worst, assume the hearse
Critic and judge to make things worse
I am just a specialist at finding faults that others miss Life is great but nothings free
The glass is always half empty See...see...see.

Just open your eyes! Just open your eyes!
I have given everything, I have given everything, my heart, my mind.
I have given everything, I have given everything, my heart, my mind.
I have given everything, I have given everything, my heart my mind, my soul Just open your eyes!
My heart my mind, my heart my mind, my heart my mind, my soul

Oh my god, I can’t control or contain what’s unchained Something has changed and it won’t be denied Tossed to the side or left out to die
