The Chosen Pessimist

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Tell me which side I'm on (who is friend or foe)
Approaching constant failure

[Chorus]
Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
(Slowly)

[Verse 2]
In many ways, I'm the burden
That divides us from the light
In many ways, you're the halo
That keeps my spirit alive

[Verse 3]
Temptation
Play the good or evil part
With me, you evoke the dark
Erase, my free will, and, watch me heal

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure

[Chorus]
Between love and hate
Which path to follow?
How can I keep, balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying

[Bridge]
Bemused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive, will I fly from here?
But as the chosen pessimist
I, I carve my name in stone
I, I carve my name in stone
Amused by the trials and tribulations
If I survive, I fly from here

[Chorus]
How can I keep balance in this race?
Come faith, I'm dying
