The Optimist (Demo at the Lake) Video (MV)

Never been an angry person
I'm sure you'd say the same
Never gave an angry sermon
I'm never angry when I pray
I just can't find the hate
But I'm sure it's hidden in my brain

I've never been too pessimistic
I'm not one to cry
I'm sure it seems suspicious
But I'll look you in the eye
I'm not afraid to die
I still don't know what's on the other side

And I've come to a place where my
Thoughts are in bloom, and I've
Picked up the pace, but I'm
Scared it's too soon
I'm finally, finally
Finding the truth
And it's time to see, time to see, that
It's nothing new
Oh, it's more like seeing through
All the shadows that were you

Still not an angry person
I don't feel deceived
I'm on a soul excursion
And I'm feeling more like me
No, I won't take a knee
Just 'cus I'm swimming in a sea

I'm still not too pessimistic
But I've changed a bit
Life is a lot more cryptic
But I'll learn to make it fit
I know I'll never quit
It's just not how I'm knit

And I've come to a place where my
Thoughts are in bloom, and I've
Picked up the pace, but I'm
Scared it's too soon
And I'm finally, finally
Finding the truth
And it's time to see, time to see, that
It's nothing new
Oh, it's more like seeing through
All the shadows that were you

I'm learning how to cope with all this change
It's not enough to try to stay the same
My broken heart is healing day-by-day
But I'm not sure who to blame

Oh I, I'm learning how to cope with all this change
It's not enough to try to stay the same
My broken heart is healing day-by-day
But I'm not sure who to blame

And I've come to a place where my
Thoughts are in bloom, and I've
Picked up the pace, but I'm
Scared it's too soon
And I'm finally, finally
Finding the truth
And it's time to see, time to see, that
It's nothing new
Oh, it's more like seeing through
All the shadows that were you
