Lyrics

[Intro]
| Db |

[Verse 1]
Db
  I gamble big for the smallest part,
I know it's not
Gb
  Enough to change what's been going on,
but it's all I've got
Db                                           Gb
  I misjudge and switch up from target to target
                                   Db
Miscalculate what it is that I wanted

[Pre-Chorus]
                                    Gb
Swimming in circles in search of substance
                                 Db
In shallow waters that give me nothing
How can optimists be cynical?

[Chorus]
Gb          Db
  So if I'm honest,
                                             Gb
I think I'm beginnin' to question how much I want this
Overloaded serial stresser,
            Db
I'm sitting nauseous
Panic on a loop in my head,
                Gb
I'm chronically cautious
How can I get off this?
           Db
To keep it simple,
                                            Gb
I think I've been willingly following every impulse
Picturing a future,
                        Bbm
then tossing it out the window
                                           Gb
Suffocate the fire I started right when it kindles
                     Db Gb
Passionate but fickle

[Verse 2]
Db
  The source of my serotonin is only digital
Gb
  'Cause my reality's fading,
I guess that's typical
Db
  Can't switch back,
it's mismatched in dopamine
Gb
  Get whiplash, it hits fast,
controlling me

[Pre-Chorus]
Db                                  Gb
  Swerving in silence, I'm all alone
In traffic I'm trapped in,
                 Db
I can't find home
                             Gb
I'm an optimist who's cynical
(That's fucking miserable)

[Chorus]
          Db
So if I'm honest,
                                             Gb
I think I'm beginnin' to question how much I want this
Overloaded serial stresser,
            Db
I'm sitting nauseous
Panic on a loop in my head,
                Gb
I'm chronically cautious
How can I get off this?
           Db
To keep it simple,
                                            Gb
I think I've been willingly following every impulse
Picturing a future,
                        Bbm
then tossing it out the window
                                           Gb
Suffocate the fire I started right when it kindles
Passionate but fickle
