Fatal Optimist - Alesana

I miss counting the stars

And I miss the way you kiss me

I miss the way you touch me

I miss calling you mine

Baby you know who I am

And there’s nobody I’d rather dance with in the moonlight

I just want to go back

I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole

This is my confession

I am no hero and I’m not a saint

I can’t save the world

And I never asked for this

In your eyes I see the questions I don’t have the answers for

Arise suspicious minds

You told yourself I was pure, certain that I would save you

But if it crosses your mind that I was saving myself

Remind yourself that I’m dangerous!

Maybe I’m not as honest as it seems, a siren dressed in silk

Maybe I’m just selling a lie, a villain in disguise

I don’t know if I’m praying, I don’t know if I’m begging

But I have to believe that someone

Something out there can hear me

I have to know that there is a chance

I have to believe that I might escape this hell

I fear I’ve lost myself and I don’t know the way back

The way back to what I once was

Am I Fatima?

Am I Rusalka?

Or am I just me?

Sweet, innocent Annabel

Star crossed lovers in strife embracing on a battlefield

Giving in to the fight, changing at the speed of light

Time to move on to another night

Time to move on to another fight
