"The Pessimist" lyrics - STONE SOUR

Half alive and stuck reigning free
A hideous God of a man
You got what you want
What more do you need?

If I have to make my stand
I will make you pay
I can show you the way
Just stay out of my way

I / will not / become / another pessimist
I / will not / become / another reason to hide

Skin is a game
War is a prize of the flesh
I know what I want, but what do I need?
If I have to take this chance I WILL TAKE IT TODAY

I / will not / become / another pessimist
I / will not / become / another part of this

I know why, the consequence is by design
And I know why, we kill to keep our lives inside
And I know why, everything wrong just feels so right
And I know why, the way I live WILL NEVER LET ME DIE

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO to make you see?
Your black of life goes grey
I don't know what I want, I don't know what I need
If I have to save you too, THAT'S THE END OF ME

I / will not / become / another pessimist
I / will not / become / another part of this

I know why, the consequence is by design
And I know why, we kill to keep our lives inside
And I know why, everything wrong just feels so right
And I know why, the way I live WILL NEVER LET ME DIE
Will never let me die
