I just won’t believe it, I know darkness when it comes I would have to see it, even watch those demons run There’s some silent chatter, but no one’s talking on the phone I know what’s the matter, and it won’t leave me alone

What should be nothing but the dead of night
Looks more like something bad gone right
I have no mind for giving up
I just can’t shake it, ’cause I can’t get away from you

Nagging optimism makes me think that I’m okay
And though I can’t believe it, can’t see it any other way
Someone tries to warn me, saying tragedy will fall
But it’s always borne me, knew I’d never hear it call

If there’s something missing, or the story’s just too tall Nagging optimism makes me want to hear it all Some silent chatter could be something I should know I know what’s the matter and it won’t leave me alone
