death of a cynic 03:07
lyrics
buy track
severed sense of hunger i am longing for a taste spring of life is filled with hate and bitter vitriol bringing out my worst and pushing friends away i sit alone in wait, crying in disdain i will break the shackles in my tomb and make my escape there is no time to waste, the day is growing late i can see sunlight seeping through the cracks now fears and superstitions falling by my side your grip is losing hold on me the last scraps of glue holding together their best intentions turning to rot [JJ] remove the cancer around my heart disgusting pessimism melting away as i'm watching who i was turn to ash before me now i take to the form that suits me there's no one left to blame look at me and who i am now let the past melt away now that the cynic has died i am free to live my life feeding off of the light instead of suicide

about

as the name suggests, this song is about finally letting go of my harsh and cynical nature that was driving people away and holding me back from being fulfilled as a person
religion taught me to hate, i learned anger could replace other emotions i didn't understand how to deal with, and i lost very precious time consumed by pessimism

transitioning has not only helped me become the person i feel i always should have been, it has also helped me distance myself from the horrible person i've spent 26 years hating

i love you, please never give up on yourself
