Optimistic from Morbid by Open Skies Treaty
Sean Hansen plays drums on this track. Thematically, this is along the lines of the first track; it explores the positive and negative aspects of revolutionary thought and action. Sonically, it's very different. I got all these guitar sounds from a Gallien-Krueger combo amp with two six-inch speakers.

Lyrics
I been trying to be optimistic.
But I’m feeling much more pugilistic.
When the scales break down
And the chains are all that’s left
We’re gonna glove up and punch
Till they too are out of breath.
Blood on the temples,
Blood on the canvas
Of the sacred halls of justice.
I done some damage.
I’ve been trying to be
I’ve been attempting to be
Optimistic.

A buzzing thing
with ungrounded electronics
and a bustling house
filled with children
who turn their backs on their oaths
not to play ball in the house
and a blind man
searching for a 9v battery
in the old shoebox
of his deliberations.
Half the time he finds one
he puts it to his tongue,
and: bland metal: a dud.
