Fatal Optimist Lyrics - Confessions - Alesana

I miss counting the stars 

And I miss the way you kiss me 

I miss the way you touch me 

I miss calling you mine 

Baby you know who I am 

And there's nobody I'd rather dance with in the moonlight 

I just want to go back 

I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole 

This is my confession 

I am no hero and I'm not a saint 

I can't save the world 

And I never asked for this 

In your eyes I see the questions I don't have the answers for 

Arise suspicious minds 

You told yourself I was pure, certain that I would save you 

But if it crosses your mind that I was saving myself 

Remind yourself that I'm dangerous 

Maybe I'm not as honest as it seems, a siren dressed in silk 

Maybe I'm just selling a lie, a villain in disguise 

I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole 

This is my confession 

I am no hero and I'm not a saint 

I can't save the world 

And I never asked for this 

In your eyes I see the questions I don't have the answers for 

Arise suspicious minds 

I don't know if I'm praying, I don't know if I'm begging 

But I have to believe that someone, something out there can hear me 

I have to know that there is a chance 

I have to believe that I might escape this hell 

I fear I've lost myself and I don't know the way back 

The way back to what I once was 

Am I Fatima? Am I Rusalka? Or am I just me? Sweet, innocent Annabel 

Star crossed lovers in strife embracing on a battlefield 

Giving in to the fight, changing at the speed of light 

Time to move on to another night 

Time to move on to another fight 

I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole 

This is my confession
