Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I need to get a grip on what's happening around me
I need to take a dip in the pool of tranquility
I lock myself away alone inside the bedroom
It's easy breezy, can't you please me with the head gloom?
[Chorus]
Stray to happiness, wanna die
Death kiss, get high, stay high
Lose your heart in the heart of the junkyard, wow
I'm not optimistic now
I'm not optimistic now
[Verse 2]
Who would've thought me always drunk would be a problem?
Problem
You shouldn't care for poppin' air, you cummin' goblin
Goblin
I'd lock myself alone with you in any bedroom
Bedroom
You're hot to trot and I'm not, that's why I'm on this
[Chorus]
Path to happiness, wanna die
Death kiss, get high, stay high
Close your heart and back to start, brains go pow
I'm not optimistic now
I'm not optimistic now, now
[Chorus]
Happiness, wanna die
Death kiss, get high, stay high
Close your heart and back to start, and your brains go pow
I'm not optimistic now
I'm not optimistic now
I'm not optimistic now
I'm not optimistic now
I'm not optimistic now
[Outro]
Ooh, optimistic
Ooh, optimistic
Ooh, optimistic now
Now, I am, I am
Now
