The Optimsit
[Chorus]
This band ain't big enough
For the bad decisions of the both of us
The dirty dishes are piling up
To the point that no matter the angle
I can't fill my glass
So how am I supposed to know
If I'm still an optimist anymore?
Lately I've been feeling rough
Is my glass still half full, there is no way to tell
[Verse 1]
I've been hiding awake in this space
Since we played the show on Monday
It was everything that I dreamt it could be:
I stood on stage with such confidence
Singing songs that I wrote in the very space
Where I am sat right now feeling opposite
Art shouldn't always be synonymous with performance
Try writing somеthing beautiful with you as the sole audiеnce
Look after your old body and be kind to your drained brain
Sleep if you need to, eat well, and understand it's okay to do this
[Verse 2]
Introversion is not a sin, interspersed invincibility
Understand that instability will not always define you
Well although, it is fine to lean into the parts that make you 'you'
Give yourself a little time to be small, too
I'm at an eating biscuits for cheese
Without the cheese level of low
I'm at an eating biscuits for cheese
Without the cheese level of low
[Verse 3]
I've been trying to read
But my attention was shot back in my teens
I wish it was through drugs
And not staring at little screens
I'd happily trade some brain cells for some stories
Some fucking real life memories
Good luck out int he world, none of us were prepared for it
I rearranged this room to give the illusion of a study
I always said that if this became my job
Then I would make it
Now I'm worried about the rent but I am lucky
[Extended Chorus]
This band ain't big enough
For the bad decisions of the both of us
The dirty dishes are piling up
To the point that no matter the angle
I can't fill my glass
So how am I supposed to know
If I'm still an optimist anymore?
Lately I've been feeling rough
Is my glass still half full, there is no way to tell
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
There is no way to tell
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
There is no way to tell
(Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
There is no way to tell
