TONEDEFF - Optimist lyrics
rate meChorus:<br />
Life is wonderful.<br />
Life goes full circle.<br />
Life is wondeful.<br />
<br />
Verse:1<br />
Sometimes I hate everyone and everything -<br />
To the world itself<br />
Even though I'm the portrait of health<br />
And been blessed with many things<br />
Cause when it seems life's beginning to take<br />
A splendid lead<br />
Suddenly, everything tends to lean negatively<br />
I used to feel my luck was bled from me at seventeen<br />
Because ever since positive outcomes have been<br />
Seldom seen<br />
They tell me that bouts with doubt can self-fulfill<br />
Prophetically<br />
And that's prolly why John & Paul said that<br />
It's best to let it be<br />
And I use to be the cat with plenty kinetic energy<br />
Happy go lucky, Mr. Follow-Your-Dream-And-Set-It-Free<br />
But over the years, son, <br />
I've been jaded to the Nth degree<br />
I hate it, cause my sense of grief<br />
Is blatant and my friends agree<br />
See, people's selfish deeds lead to my<br />
Bleak expectancy (Like) If I catch the E, <br />
I never expect to see an empty seat<br />
(Nice) But in typical fashion, this'll pass<br />
Until my next defeat<br />
Until I'm stressing deep and forced to beg and plea <br />
Till then we'll sing.<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
Life is wonderful.<br />
Life goes full circle.<br />
Life is wondeful.<br />
<br />
Verse:2<br />
They say I'm a natural born pessamist<br />
And that's fuckin wild<br />
Must've come with my mother's smile<br />
And father's bullheadedness<br />
I pull ahead and get pulled back, <br />
But I keep struggling<br />
Son, I feel like I couldn't catch a break beat juggling<br />
Still I reach upward and on, <br />
And proceed trudging along<br />
As I lead these brothers in arms, <br />
To achieve what's in our hearts<br />
But the scene's shrugging us off, <br />
So... <br />
I just remember that every dream comes with a scar<br />
When I see something I want<br />
When it seems nothing is wrong, well -<br />
I gotta keep telling myself to stop<br />
Waiting for the other foot to drop<br />
Live in the moment, sit on the throne<br />
And just take a look from the top<br />
It's a whole other perspective to see<br />
The good that you got<br />
Now, if it's an omen, quit with the moaning! <br />
Don't let it push you to flop<br />
That's like being spooked at the doc since<br />
You was a baby, still shook from the shot<br />
Don't imagine a tragic end to the book, <br />
When there's not<br />
You gotta try to rewrite inspite of how crooked the plot.<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
Life is wonderful.<br />
Life goes full circle.<br />
Life is wondeful.<br />
<br />
Verse:3<br />
Now, when you go this long uphill, <br />
You lose the will to climb it<br />
So, I wrote this song to remind me of the silver lining<br />
In a world this wrong, gotta carry<br />
A sword that's strong<br />
And slice 'em all with smiles, <br />
Y'all -- I fight 'em as I kill with kindness<br />
Nobody wants a Bitter Benny<br />
Or a Debbie Downer<br />
Or a Sad Sam that be wrapping a wet blanket around them<br />
Keep a sunny disposition -- Breathe Out<br />
Cause life has a way of stripping the paint<br />
Off of your dream house. It's simple.<br />
Indeed these things seem to be easy to see<br />
But they easily flee your mind<br />
As you find repeated deceit<br />
Now, there's reasons the weak<br />
Of will never dream or believe<br />
Before they leap, they concede<br />
To defeat and agree to retreat<br />
Now, when fatigue has really got you<br />
By the balls/ Remember that if you really didn't believe<br />
You'd succeed, then you wouldn't have tried at all<br />
So, jump regardless of the consequence<br />
Cause even on the night of the apocalypse, <br />
Everybody's an optimist.<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
Life is wonderful.<br />
Life goes full circle.<br />
Life is wondeful. X2<br />
<br />
Bridge<br />
No matter how hard it seems.<br />
There's always someone in another position.<br />
<br />
So, when it rains, just hold on.<br />
When it's gray, just hold on.<br />
When there's pain, just hold on.<br />
When it rains.<br />
<br />
And when it rains, think dry skies.<br />
When it's gray, think bright lights.<br />
When there's pain, just smile, smile.<br />
When it rains.<br />
<br />
Verse:4<br />
I know it seems everyday is a struggle<br />
To keep yourself outta trouble<br />
This modern jungle is jumbled with muddled puzzles to stump you<br />
And snipers gunning to stumble you, <br />
Like you've been hunted<br />
Dude, how the hell are you telling us<br />
'Life is wonderful'?<br />
Some of you have come to<br />
Conclusions/assumptions, But nothing as true or stunning<br />
That misery becomes something that's comfortable<br />
Trumping the will to shun it.<br />
Run from it if you're stuck in a rut or two<br />
So, I figured I'd drum up something<br />
I could hum to you. (Like this).<br />
<br />
When it rains, just hold on.<br />
When it's gray, just hold on.<br />
When there's pain, just hold on.<br />
When it rains.<br />
<br />
And when it rains, think dry skies.<br />
When it's gray, think bright lights.<br />
When there's pain, just smile, smile.<br />
When it rains.</
