Pessimism Lyrics by Helen Schneider

Exposed

0

[Verse 1]
I would like to think of things to do
Like filling up pages with pictures of my world
The feeling would thrill me and fill me
With anticipation of accomplishment
[Verse 2]
I would think of a place to go
Packing up a bag for Europe or Mexico
No plan in advance, no schemes, just the idea
Anticipation of adventure
[Pre-Chorus]
Suddenly, like an evil being
The thought invaded, it's case was stated
[Chorus]
Pessimism, pessimism, pessimism, pessimism
Killer of hope, lover of failure (Pessimism, pessimism)
(Pessimism, pessimism)
Pessimism, pessimism, pessimism, pessimism
Clouds the mind with dark tomorrows (Pessimism, pessimism)
(Pessimism, pessimism)
[Verse 3]
I would think how my life had been
Where I'd come and what I'd done
The feeling would give me a sense of strength
Remembering good predictions
[Verse 4]
I would think some future thoughts
Daydream things of how the years would fall
The feeling would thrill me, excite me
With anticipation of a challenge
[Pre-Chorus]
But suddenly, like an evil being
The thought invaded, it's case was stated
[Chorus]
Pessimism, pessimism, pessimism, pessimism
Killer of hope, lover of failure (Pessimism, pessimism)
(Pessimism, pessimism)
Pessimism, pessimism, pessimism, pessimism
Clouds the mind with dark tomorrows (Pessimism, pessimism)
(Pessimism, pessimism)
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Suddenly, like an evil being
The thought invaded, it's case was stated
[Chorus]
Pessimism, pessimism, pessimism, pessimism
Killer of hope, lover of failure (Pessimism, pessimism)
(Pessimism, pessimism)
Pessimism, pessimism, pessimism, pessimism
Clouds the mind with dark tomorrows (Pessimism, pessimism)
(Pessimism, pessimism)
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
