The Chosen Pessimist

Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Tell me which side I'm on
(As friend or foe)
Approaching constant failure

Between love and hate
Which path to follow
How can I keep balance in this reach
Come faith I'm dying
(slowly)

In many ways I'm the burden
And devices from the light
In many ways you're the halo
That keeps my spirit alive

Temptation, the gift that could
A wreath uphold
In me you invoke the dark
A race
Now free me
Watch me heal

Tell me which side I'm on
Approaching constant failure
Between love and hate
Which path to follow
How can I keep balance in this race
Come faith I'm dying

I'm used by trials and tribulations
If I should lie and lie
Fly from here
But as the chosen pessimist
Carve my name in stone
Carve my name in stone
How can I keep balance in this race
Come faith I'm dying
