​born again pessimist

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm taking you to war, I'm taking you to war

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
God bless my big empty heart

[Breakdown]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
(My big empty heart)
(My big empty heart)
(My big empty heart)
God bless my big empty heart
