Corey Taylor
The Pessimist
[Verse 1]
Half alive and stock reigning free
A hideous god of a man
You got what you want
What more do you need?
If I have to make my stand
I will make you pay
I can show you the way
Just stay out of my way
[Chorus 1]
I will not become another pessimist
I will not become another reason to hide
[Verse 2]
Skin is a game
War is a prize of the flesh
I know what I want, but what do I need?
If I have to take this chance
I will take it today
[Chorus 2]
I will not become another pessimist
I will not become another part of this
I know why
The consequence's by design
And I know why we kill to keep our lives inside
And I know why everything wrong just feel so right
And I know why, the way I live, will never let me die
[Verse 3]
What do I have to do
To make you see?
Your black of life goes gray
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I need
If I have to save you too
That's the end of me
[Chorus 2]
I will not become another pessimist
I will not become another part of this
I know why
The consequence's by design
And I know why we kill to keep our lives inside
And I know why everything wrong just feel so right
And I know why, the way I live, will never let me die
[Outro]
Will never let me die
