Plastic Barricades – Optimist Lyrics

Optimist By Plastic Barricades

One of those overwhelming days
When everything seems pointless
You try your very best and fail to keep away those restless thoughts
Those lonely thoughts running through your head
They hold you down
You can feel the weight

Is the glass you hold half empty?
Are you gonna fill it up again?
Drink it till the end
Find the light; don’t curse the darkness
There are many pathways to explore
Labyrinths with open doors
For an optimist

We are survivors by design
But we’re afraid of failing
Sometimes it’s easier not to try
Because the effort’s draining
What if you could find pleasure in the journey?
Redefine what you really want

Is the glass you hold half empty?
Are you gonna fill it up again?
Drink it till the very end
Find the light; don’t curse the darkness
There are many pathways to explore
Labyrinths with open doors
For an optimist
One of those overwhelming days
But everyone seems hopeful
You try your very best and finally succeed at something
You’ve been longing for
Celebrate the score that only leaves you wanting more

Is the glass you hold half empty?
Are you gonna fill it up again?
Drink it till the very end
Find the light; don’t curse the darkness
There are many pathways to explore
Labyrinths with open doors
For an optimist
