born again pessimist

I took an easy ride so the world could pretend that I'm superior
 You'd have an honest man if you took the time to wire up my jaw
 I fell asleep in the backseat, fuck, it was so sweet, I ran a red like I saw a matador, yeah
 The sun might melt whilst you wait for my arteries to thaw
 I'm taking you to war
 ♪
 I'm taking you to war
 I'm never gonna spill my guts, it feels like death by a thousand cuts
 So when the here and now holds me down, I fall apart
 I don't wanna talk too much, I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch
 So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round, God, bless my big empty heart
 ♪
 I'll only lose my head if I stand too close to hysteria
 And if it took your breath, then I'm betting that I focused on the flaw
 So go and set me in concrete, I'm just a deadbeat, you always said I'm the wolf that's at your door
 I would drown myself, but the thirst'd have me coming back for more
 I'm never gonna spill my guts, it feels like death by a thousand cuts
 So when the here and now holds me down, I fall apart
 I don't wanna talk too much, I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch
 So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round, God, bless my big empty heart
 God, bless my big empty heart
 ♪
 I'm just a born-again pessimist, I'll only kick you from the precipice
 Come follow me, we'll march on Heaven's gates
 I'm never gonna spill my guts, it feels like death by a thousand cuts
 So when the here and now holds me down, I fall apart
 I don't wanna talk too much, I'm never gonna stop, yeah, I love this crutch
 So if I kiss the ground, don't look 'round, God, bless my big empty heart
 My big empty heart
 My big empty heart
 My big empty heart
 God, bless my big empty heart
