Let's All Get Pessimistic

by O. Wake

supported by

Derek LeStrange I feel black waters dripping to a floating staircase with broken and misshapen G&E radios surrounding the skies. A crackle of purple lightning displayed with a memory of an old flame turned to a parody of what was.
This song really hit me and I'll be waiting for an EP or Lp to purchase. Thank you for contributing new things into this digital realm friend:) Favorite track: Let's All Get Pessimistic.

lyrics

Lately I’ve been feeling a little strange
But it’s alright because I know you’re feeling more or less the same
I’ve been getting high a lot of times
And writing songs that would embarrass me before if they’d been played
Been getting addicted to the news
It’s just like binging on a Netflix show
‘Til the monster comes for you
It’s just so realistic

And now I’m living day by day
No longer burdened by the weight
Of all these hopes and expectations
And if the sky bursts into flames I’ll get a hose
And if the water rises I’ll play “Good Vibrations”

I get my daily dose of gloom
Right after dinner with my vitamins
If you want you can have some too
Let’s all get pessimistic

My life goes on, all of my days blend in
And I don’t have no plans tonight
But everything is changing
And what a time it is to be alive
I close my eyes and when I wake up
I imagine that I’m dreaming

The kids don’t want to go to school
They want you to get realistic
Drown in your optimism pool
Let’s all get pessimistic

We got the power to get over it together
But it isn’t always easy to remember you know
When everybody’s busy offending each other
And they can’t get it together, no they won’t let it go

I find a positive and add it to a negative
And multiply the opposite and take another sedative
And settle into bed and watch a
Sentimental sentimental sentimental
Television television television show
