lyrics

I emerge fresh-faced and effervescent
From the flaming car wreck of my shit adolescence
Wincing, spitting teeth out
Beaming with a bloody mouth ‘cause
What doesn’t kill you counts as progression

I used to say you were my plan A
And banked on you shouldering my weight
Prolonged the inevitable
And never prepared for the worst case
(I’m no optimist)
I’m no optimist but
Who has ever lived and never lost a thing?
(I’m no optimist)
And I will forgive myself
For every false step and stupid mistake

And I am fresh faced and effervescent
Generally anxious and major depressive
Still fighting cynicism, overly self critical
Finding liberation in lack of direction
Direction

(I’m no optimist)
I’m no optimist but who has ever lived and never lost a thing?
(I’m no optimist)
I’m no optimist but when I’m happy, I’m so fucking happy
(I’m no optimist)
I’m no optimist but I’ve come too far to just admit defeat, yeah
(I’m no optimist)
I’m not optimist but this is my Plan B

And I am fresh-faced and effervescent
Lonely, tired, beat down, and stressed out
But I’ll still sing with a broken jaw
If it’ll mend the soul of someone else
