Stone Sour “The Pessimist” Song Lyric

Half alive and stuck reigning free
A hideous God of a man
You got what you want
What more do you need?

If I have to make my stand
I will make you pay
I can show you the way
JUST STAY OUT OF MY WAY

I / WILL NOT / BECOME / ANOTHER PESSIMIST
I / WILL NOT / BECOME / ANOTHER REASON TO HIDE

Skin is a game
War is a prize of the flesh
I know what I want, but what do I need?
If I have to take this chance I WILL TAKE IT TODAY

I / WILL NOT / BECOME / ANOTHER PESSIMIST
I / WILL NOT / BECOME / ANOTHER PART OF THIS

I know why, the consequence is by design
And I know why, we kill to keep our lives inside
And I know why, everything wrong just feels so right
And I know why, the way I live WILL NEVER LET ME DIE

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO to make you see?
Your black of life goes grey
I don't know what I want, I don't know what I need
If I have to save you too, THAT'S THE END OF ME

I / WILL NOT / BECOME / ANOTHER PESSIMIST
I / WILL NOT / BECOME / ANOTHER PART OF THIS

I know why, the consequence is by design
And I know why, we kill to keep our lives inside
And I know why, everything wrong just feels so right
And I know why, the way I live WILL NEVER LET ME DIE
WILL NEVER LET ME DIE
