Optimistic

I feel like clawing out my eyes
I feel like crawling out of my skin
Never again
Never again
They say never again
Never again

I feel like running down my street
I feel so broken inside
Say never again
Never again
But you say it again
Say it again

Gunshots and online forums
American decorum
I cried my fuckin' eyes out
Numbing the pain with a cold brew coffee
Our President's a racist prick
His daddy treated him like shit
He cakes his makeup on so thick

There's nothing underneath it
Hollywood burns with fires we start
The internet fills a hole in my heart
Sometimes I just wanna crash my car
Wanna kiss my wife when she says
She don't wanna bring a baby into this world
I'm losing sleep trying to be

Optimistic
Optimistic
She don't wanna bring a baby into this world
Telling myself I should be
Optimistic
Optimistic
So don't tell me everything's alright
I'm trying so hard not to scream

Staying alive
Staying alive
Old men die
But we survive
Shot down in Dayton, Ohio
Parkland, Vegas, El Paso
Down at the border
A mother's in labor inside of a cage

And she says
She don't wanna bring a baby into this world
So goddamn tired of trying to be
Optimistic
Optimistic
She's so afraid for that baby girl
She don't know how she can stay
Optimistic
Optimistic

Don't tell me everything's alright
Don't tell me everything's alright
Don't tell me everything's alright
Don't tell me everything's alright
Don't tell me everything's alright
Don't tell me everything's alright
Don't tell me everything's alright
