The Optimist Songtext
von The Funeral Portrait

Oh, how I′ve longed for silence (you were calling for evening)
You won't believe the year I′ve had
(It falls) behind these pulsing eyelids (here it is)
I saw the truth, the ever-haunting truth

I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now
I'm opening myself for you

I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It′s almost over now
From any vibration

The lies I′ve kept to vindicate
Relapse to self destruction
To save myself, I imitate a man of pure devotion
Dissect my palms to simulate any fragment of emotion
Primary urge to mutilate
I'm moving in slow motion


I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It′s almost over now
I'm opening myself for you

I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It′s almost over now
From any vibration

I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now
I′m opening myself for you

I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now
I'm opening myself for you

I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It′s almost over now
I′m opening myself for you

I will never forgive myself
No one could have shown me how
It's almost over now
