Atreyu - A Song for the Optimists lyrics

Blow the last candle out let the wax harden
I wish I could stop crying
I wish that someone still loved me
(Blow the last candle out)
(Let the wax harden)
(I wish I could stop crying)
(I wish that someone still loved me)

Just breathe and focus
How can I when the air is so cold and empty
That my lungs froze right in my chest?
I'll be honest
The silver linings are getting harder
And harder to manufacture
And the smiles are so difficult to fake
I'll be honest
The silver linings are getting harder
And harder to manufacture
And the smiles are becoming so
Difficult for me to fake

What do I have to do
Or who do I have to kill
To get what I want what I need?

What do I have to do
Or who do I have to kill
To get what I want what I need?

Happiness is an emotion
I was born to this world without
Nothing please, s me i can never be satiated
Through this toil I will
Breed my own distress
And destroy my best hopes
Fuck up the only things (that I love)

(I watched my dreams die)
I watched my aspirations crash
Into the ground
On the backs of the angels that I've slain
But, I meant so well i tried so hard
Gave every bit of my soul to what end?
To what end?

Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away
Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away
Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away
