lyrics

Recklessly Optimistic

I’m recklessly optimistic.
Seeing the best case.
That is what this is.

Cynical outlook has shifted.
Didn’t predict it.
don’t know what fixed it.

But I couldn’t live in the shadows.
There are just too many battles
on the field of ideas.
Taking turns to grapple,
in the arena.
We John Cena.
We like to wrastle.

We’ll do it with words.
No need for violence,
that shit is absurd.
Don’t want to be hurt
and don’t want to get your blood on my shirt.
Just blurting a verse
telling you put your shit in reverse.

Back it up sir.

Your attitude is exactly the worst.

Not helpful when I see
those cats with facts that are are by me
saying RIP
to consonant harmony,
so the art I bleed
is dissonant.
Best believe.

Because a world of addiction leads to bodies in the street.

—

Yeah they taught me to believe
that it’s not what it seems.
That we have constructed
a specific way of being.
The thought that we’re feely
finding ways to see things
that implies that we are aware that we’re thinking.

But we’re not that.
We’re having the thought that—
that we could be taught that—
that you and I are no different from all of the others that we seem to combat.
Expressions of the universe.
No telling which way we’ll do it first.
Not separate beings as much as we’re seeming to be one forming these words…

You might say.
We’re tapping into a way—
we’re going into a place
that you might find you like to stay.
You might like the way
that it feels to be engaged
with your deeper self.
You could lose the chains…

—

I’m recklessly optimistic.
Seeing the best case.
That is what this is.

Cynical outlook has shifted.
Didn’t predict it.
Don’t know what fixed it.x

I’m recklessly optimistic.
Seeing the best case.
That is what this is.

I’m here to say that you‘ve been gifted
a chance to see what your mind is missing…

you would just listen…

not simply dismiss it.
