The Optimist by Of Blackest Oceans

Callous and cold. You see the world through these eyes. Nothing but hate and despair. Conquer and divide. I see you stare at the sun in search for the silver line. Take a look at the bright side and we all end up blind.

We are all for nothing, and nothing for all. ‘Cause when you stand for something, you’re doomed to fall.

What’s the point if we all die. From the ash, see only smoke rise.
Do you believe you leave behind such a memory that won’t belie.
You can’t escape, you can’t deny. Just a moment in the worlds.
We can pretend it’s by design. But in the end we’re left to wonder why.

From here on out our only hope is to fail. I won’t wait for this tempest to come fill these sails. Burn the ship, burn the bridge, burn the words from my lips. You bear witness to the death of the optimist.

You have been told. Through these eyes, the only colours left are black and white.

Everyday we kept drifting further as we approach the unknown.
In these moments we bless our curses and every day they’ve grown.
