So-Called Pessimist Video (MV)

I stand by Stanley Kubrick
And his take on our short lives
Where we self-define our mortal purposes
While time passes us by
Who needs the nihilism
Or the statues made of stone
I don't need to look to things
To reaffirm that I am not alone

Let's be realistic
I know many of you are
I usually let people be
But some take things too far
Before you look at
What the stars above you have to say
Just know they're fairy tales
That aren't here to stay

I am a Virgo and an asshole
According to my ex
But thin excuses and zodiac signs
Are reasons I get vexed
Those constellations can be
Fun and games until you realize
That people use to
Completely define their whole lives

Let's be realistic
I know many of you are
I usually let people be
But some take things too far
Before you look at
What the stars above you have to say
Just know they're fairy tales
That aren't here to stay

I stand by the so-called pessimists and skeptics
When it comes to
Horoscopes and palm readings
Plus other forms of pseudoscience
There are no miracles
When your bullet points are not empirical
And contradicts the years and years
Of scientific research

Let's be realistic
I know many of you are
I usually let people be
But some take things too far
Before you look at
What the stars above you have to say
Just know they're fairy tales
That aren't here to stay
