From the recording Hymnals and Hangovers
Lyrics
SICK OF OPTIMISM
Holding on to hope
Thinking it’s all right
I will hear from you
Held out this long
What’s another year
A decade or two
I will wait for you
Never wondered if it’s true
I still think that I believe
But I don’t think
I’m sick of optimism
Just don’t want to feel
Let down by life so marred
While you rot behind bars
Used to count the days
Think about the plans
But I let them all go
Might turn out fine
But I won’t wait here
So I might not know
