[Verse 1]
G I gamble big for the smallest pot, I know it's not
C Enough to change what's been going on, but it's all I got
Em I misjudge and switch up, from target to target
C Miscalculate what it is that I want
G Swimming in circles, in search of substance
C Em In shallow waters, it don't mean nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
CHow can an optimist be cynical?
[Chorus]
GSo, if I'm honest
CI think I'm beginning to question how much I want this
EmOverloaded serial stresser, I'm sitting nauseous
CPanic on a loop in my head, I'm chronically cautious
N.C.
How can I get off this?
GTo keep it simple
CI think I've been willingly following every impulse
EmPicturing a future, then tossing it out the window
CSuffocate the fire I started right when it kindles
N.C.
Passionate but fickle
[Verse 2]
G The source of my serotonin is only digital
C 'Cause my reality's fading, I guess it's typical
Em Can switch back, it's mismatched in dopamine
C Get whiplash, it hits fast, controlling me
G Swerving in silence, I'm all alone
C Em In traffic, I'm trapped and I can't find home
[Pre-Chorus]
CI'm an optimist who's cynical. (That's f'king miserable)
[Chorus]
GSo, if I'm honest
CI think I'm beginning to question how much I want this
EmOverloaded serial stresser, I'm sitting nauseous
CPanic on a loop in my head, I'm chronically cautious
N.C.
How can I get off this?
GTo keep it simple
CI think I've been willingly following every impulse
EmPicturing a future, then tossing it out the window
CSuffocate the fire I started right when it kindles
N.C.
Passionate but fickle
