Evan Raditya Pratomo - Optimism Bias Lyrics

Here I am again, cleaning up your mess!
After you shattered my polished plans!
In the name of positivity, you press
Toxic happiness, consciously unconscious
Oooh, you say you didn't mean to harm?
Then why do most of us feel alarmed?
Enough! Enough! Enough!
You hide it behind a mask of cheer
Extroverted, righteous justice here
Crushing the townsfolk, far and near
Stop calling it right; stop calling it justice
Stop forcing us to be like you!
Look around: we're the sinners expelled from Eden
Electricity, gasoline, et cetera
Oh, the irony of toxic positivity
Here you come again, a hero too late!
Silencing your phone to seal your fate!
Under the banner of human rights
You shot needles in the name of "what's right."
Consciously unconscious
Oooh, you say you didn't mean to harm?
Then why do most of us feel alarmed?
Enough! Enough! Enough!
You hide it behind a mask of cheer
Extroverted, righteous justice here
Crushing the townsfolk, far and near
Stop calling it right; stop calling it justice
Stop forcing us to be like you!
Look around: we're the sinners expelled from Eden
Electricity, gasoline, et cetera
Oh, the irony of toxic positivity
Such an irony
Every "good vibes only" spun into hollow lines
Every "good vibes only" spun into hollow lines
Preaching kindness as if it were holy wine
Oooh, you're the hero nobody asked for here
Mirror, mirror, up on high
Tell me, who's the fairest of all this guise?
Oh, but I'm the sinner for saying the truth?
Oops! My mistake; I'm just mimicking you!
How "positive" of me to walk in your shoes
HA!
HA!
Here I am now, hair undone
Silent screams in the pastel lights!
Bought a snake cape for my little monster
Licking off the dregs of schwarzbier
Black sunglasses to close the night!
(VOILA!)
Enough! Enough!
Righteous justice here!
Crushing the townsfolk, far and near
Stop calling it right!
Stop calling it justice!
Stop forcing us to be like you!
Nobody asked it!
We're the sinners expelled from Eden!
Oooh...Expelled from Eden
Oooh...Electricity, gasoline, et cetera
Oooh...Everything, et cetera
OH!! Optimism bias!!
A toxic po-si-ti-vi-ty!
At least I know when to keep my mouth shut
In poetry, truth doesn't apologize!
I'm just a half-assed soldier like they all assume
Spellbound by your preach and cast it wide!
Just know, darling
You're the dark joke, we awkwardly reply
Enough! Enough! Enough!
Or maybe don't reply at all
