Death Of An Optimist

[00:13.15] He's in the sound of the song that was sung to an empty room

[00:17.66] The last light from the sun that was set too soon

[00:21.41] In the tremble of the man who never shot his shot

[00:25.16] In the gravestone, sitting on a worn-out plot

[00:28.91] In the long lost echo of the "Why not me?"

[00:32.41] Who never moved on, never let bygones be

[00:36.15] In the blood from the war that history forgot

[00:39.91] In the unsolved crime and the memory lost

[00:45.66] I never thought it'd come to this (I never thought it'd come to this)

[00:50.41] Death of an optimist

[00:57.70] Death of an optimist

[01:05.96] He's in the cry from a boy who was left unattended

[01:10.20] In the agenda of the unoffended

[01:13.20] Now presenting a horror story or a happy ending

[01:16.95] Depending on which one of us is pretending

[01:20.61] In the shame of a past repeated and reenacted

[01:24.36] Truth that was redacted, youth that never lasted

[01:28.37] In the protest the news never reported

[01:32.12] The American Dream that got deported

[01:37.11] I never thought it'd come to this
