Fatal Optimist

Fatal Optimist - Alesana

I miss counting the stars

And I miss the way you kiss me

I miss the way you touch me

I miss calling you mine

Baby you know who I am

And there's nobody

I'd rather dance with

In the moonlight

I just want to go back

I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole

This is my confession

I am no hero and I'm not a saint

I can't save the world

And I never asked for this

In your eyes I see the questions

I don't have the answers for

Arise suspicious minds

You told yourself I was pure certain that

I would save you

But if it crosses your mind that

I was saving myself

Remind yourself that

I'm dangerous

Maybe I'm not as honest as it seems

A siren dressed in silk

Maybe I'm just selling a lie

A villain in disguise

I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole

This is my confession

I am no hero and I'm not a saint

I can't save the world

And I never asked for this

In your eyes I see the questions

I don't have the answers for

Arise suspicious minds

I don't know if I'm praying

I don't know if I'm begging

But I have to believe that someone

Something out there can hear me

I have to know that

There is a chance

I have to believe that

I might escape this hell

I fear I've lost myself

I don't know the way back

The way back to what I once was

Am I fatima

Am I rusalka

Or am I just me

Sweet innocent annabel

Star crossed lovers in strife embracing

On a battlefield

Giving in to the fight

Changing at the speed of light

I fear the emptiness

Will swallow me whole

This is my confession
