Pessimism

from Infinite Will to Power by Ancestor

/

lyrics

with dragon's breath and claws of steel
you drink my blood and pose your meal
you cripple me like kryptonite
my soul devoured you twist the knive

force feeding your disillusion
cross my will
kill my desire
my words ignored you believe your lies
you pessimism wins tonight

those who know
don't need told
and those who don't
don't listen

can you hear me now?

i build it up
you tear it down
a picture painted tainted clown
your negativity resents my fire
two face fucked up demon liar

those who know
don't need told
and those who don't
don't listen

can you hear me now?

ooh pessimism -- the world destroyer

i preach about your contradiction
your perception is my affliction
words of doubt
demons on my back
i'll have my way and cast them out

your tragedy I can relate
when pessimism is your state
it's sour soil planting seeds of regret
your paranoia will kill you yet

but still I forgive
you can't help yourself
only human just like everyone else
i hope someday you can forgive yourself
