lyrics

Optimum Delirium

I’m on the run - I’m on a roll and I
Don’t wanna be in a gang no more
I don’t believe I’m going down again
I don’t believe the darkness will endure
So throw me out (cast me out now)
Into the ether (take a u-turn)
Into the void (set to zero)

I pick a door - I push it open
I jump into another brand new skin
I look around for some potential
The lights are on but there’s no one in
So throw me out (cast me out now)
Into the ether (take a u-turn)
Into the void (set to zero)
This is a blank page I’m starting over cos I’m

Clutching serenity
I don’t care if you wanna take me down again
Calm lights a fire in me

Optimum – Delirium

I’m turning ‘round - I’m on the move I
Don’t wanna dwell on the past no more
No axe to grind - no grudge to bear now
I catch a hand to get me off the floor
So pick me up (pick me up now)
And dust me off again (burn no bridges)
I’m not alone (we can make it)
I got you by my side - I’m on fire now

Static stagnation when your vocation is to
Amble on in the dead of the wilderness
Lost at sea – there’s no escaping it

Incarceration - When motivation seems to be untouchable
Hold on get a grip on reality
You gotta write the future
Everybody gotta write the future

Clutching serenity
I don’t care if you wanna take me down again
Calm lights a fire in me

Optimum – Delirium
