<b>The Optimist</b> by <i>Chasing Claymores</i><br />Chasing Claymores - The Optimist

Was slowly eroding,

Consumed without knowing

Now regaining

Consciousness from its long sleep

Hanging on, both eyes closed

It kills me everytime

I lost my reasons in the truth

Forgotten what is left behind

Like a father who gives up when he chose not to stay

Or the preacher in the church who abandons his faith

I lost myself but now I am returning

The optimist in me

Was slowly eroding,

Consumed without knowing

Now regaining

Consciousness from its long sleep

When it's said and done

I will take my chances

Your expectations won't get the best of me

Facing my fears

Looking back is enough

Retracing my steps

Which way should I go?

Like a father who gives up when he chose not to stay

Or the preacher in the church who abandons his faith

I lost myself but now I am returning

It hasn't gotten any easier

I fought with everything I have

Nobody promised much of anything

I'm still not sure if this will last

I've lost my faith

And only failure followed

My dreams, my world

Crushed by circumstance

I found my way

Only pride was swallowed

Opportunity presents itself once again

The optimist in me

Was slowly eroding,

Consumed without knowing

Now regaining

Consciousness from its long sleep

When it's said and done

I will take my chances

Your expectations won't get the best of me
