The Optimist (Duet) lyrics
by 10 Years
[Verse 1: Jesse Hasek]
I lost my head in all the confusion
Have I become so numb to everything
Wanna stop the world and just kill the conversation
Try to walk the line to find some peace of mind
[Pre-Chorus: Jesse Hasek & Kia Taylor]
I'm searching for a silver lining
But I feel like a dying breed
Running out of lies to believe
If life is a dream, wake me
When it comes to pointing the blame
Everyone's got something to say
Screaming for change but staying the same
Expecting the cycle to break
(Break!)
[Chorus: Jesse Hasek & Kia Taylor]
I don't want your cure, I don't need your savior
To give me a sign of life underneath
I just need to know how to heal the hollow
To keep the optimist alive in me
[Verse 2: Kia Taylor]
I'm falling from pride
Tripping over the fault lines
Knowing all this time that silence doesn't make a sound
[Pre-Chorus: Jesse Hasek & Kia Taylor]
When it comes to pointing the blame
Everyone's got something to say
Screaming for change but staying the same
Expecting the cycle to break
(Break!)
[Chorus: Jesse Hasek & Kia Taylor]
I don't want your cure, I don't need your savior
To give me a sign of life underneath
I just need to know how to heal the hollow
To keep the optimist alive in me
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Jesse Hasek & Kia Taylor]
I don't want your cure, I don't need your savior
To give me a sign of life underneath
I just need to know how to heal the hollow
To keep the optimist alive in me
[Outro: Jesse Hasek & Kia Taylor]
Is there a cure? Is there a savior?
Is there a sign of life underneath?
I need to know how to heal this hollow
And keep the optimist alive in me
