The Pessimist Lyrics - Silent Screams

False hope for what, so we can keep our fingers crossed? 

Forgive me for being the pessimist, 

The truth here is a sinking ship 

We're forced to swim to make it out alive 

Please bite your tongue save building me up one more time 

Yeah we followed the lines, 

For them to break and crumble 

These promises have left an ache in my shoulders 

I can barely lift my feet off the ground 

There comes a time when we all must learn to survive 

So wash the fear from those eyes 

I know it does get worse before it gets easier 

I am the loved, I am the hated 

The brave and broken, the unforgotten 

You kick and you scream for the walls to come crashing to the floor 

And then begins the real war 

Overwhelmed but under appreciated pressure 

You kick and you scream and can't breathe 

The pressure makes you sick
