LYRICS
He’s in the sound of the
Song that was sung to an empty room
The last light from the sun that was set too soon
In tremble of the man who never shot his shot
In the gravestone sitting on a worn out plot

In the long lost echo of the “why not me?”
Who never moved on; never let bygones be
In the blood from a war that history forgot
In the unsolved crime and the memory lost

I never thought it come to this...

Death of an Optimist
Death of an Optimist

He’s In the cry from a boy who was left unattended
In the agenda of the unoffended
Now presenting: a horror story or a happy ending
Depending on which one of us is pretending

In the shame of a past repeated and re-enacted
Truth that was redacted
Youth that never lasted
In the protest the news never reported
The American Dream that got deported

I never thought it come to this!

Death of an Optimist
Death of an Optimist
Death of an Optimist
Death of an Optimist
Death of an Optimist
Death of an Optimist

The is no way for Grandson to not be underrated no matter if everyone in the world listened to him it would not be enough to match his talent

optimist: my beer is half full

pessimist, my beer is half empty

anyone in 2020: thats piss isnt it?

[yeethawt]

Going from "Blood In The Water" to something chill. I can respect that, although...the ending sounded like it was 'bout to get turnt up.

[jameskywd]

literally dude, been a grandkid a few years now and this is so fucking hype, this truly is a highlight in history

[homar_]

im really waiting for him to be that music legend like queen or abba

[TimeWizard]

To all the people growing up in this terrible time watching their inner child die, people are thinking of you and care still. ♡

My parents grew up listening to Rage against the machine. I grew up listening to grandson. Thank you, grandson 🖤✊

An optimist died for this song, now I live for this song. A soul for a soul.

Verse 1:
He's in the sound of the song sung to an empty room
The last light from the sun that was set too soon
In the tremble of the man who never shot his shot
In the gravestone sitting on a worn out plot
In the long lost echo of the "Why not me?'
Who never moved on
Who never let bygones be
In the blood from the war that history forgot
In the unsolved crime and the memory lost

Pre Chorus:
I never thought it'd come to this

Chorus:
Death of an optimist
Death of an optimist

Verse 2:
He's in the cry from a boy who was left unattended
In the agenda of the unoffended
Now presenting a horror story or a happy ending
Depending
on which one of us is pretending
In the shame of a past repeated and re-enacted
Truth that was redacted
Youth that never lasted
In the protest the news never reported
The American dream that got, deported

Pre chorus:
I never thought it'd come to this

Chorus:
Death of an optimist
Death of an optimist
Death of an optimist
Death of an optimist
Death of an optimist
Death of an optimist

I have spent like half my life listening to your songs

[ihavenoidea]

Physiologist:Describe pain.
Me: Getting a notification when listening to any of Grandson’s song

[peke]

Both Grandson and Hollywood Undead releasing few tracks in the same day? I guess there won't be better day this December <3

Hey I don’t expect you to read this but I just wanted to thank you. It’s been incredible to sit here and listen to your music and watch over time as you put out new songs. You have a permanent spot in my playlists and you have music for nearly any mood. Your music has always been there for me and has helped me through some dark places. Today I listened to this whole album after some very stressful issues had arisen and I just sang along. Afterwards I was able to calm down and clear my head. Your music has helped me out of a lot of dark places and I wanted to thank you for doing what you do. You’ve made my day today I hope this comment makes yours one day

[pratik]

I knew what's it gonna sound like just by the thumbnail, and I must say I am not disappointed.

[maddhatt]

It's gonna be a Grandson, Missio, and Imagine Dragons kind of day.

[Psychthecolourwhite]

I’ve loved grandson for such a long time now, he hits differently and he hits truthfully 🙌

[Eldritchwritings]

I've never been this hype for an album drop in my life. The tonal shift of this album is bone chilling. It's softer and somber while carrying the same heaviness of earlier songs, and it's title song is the pinnacle of that. This entire album is just too spectacular to pick a favorite <3

[kekzeer]

This is different, more different than this entire album
