lyrics

American Dreams

I can only get so weak
The ringing in my ears has finally faded
Your tongue cuts through your cheek
My sense of self and worth, I feel invaded

All these little things
Can seem like mountains when you're this low
And all my broken seams
Are mended by the thoughts I see and borrow

I wish I could see through your cross eyes
And analyze
Why I can't be all that you need
I'm paralyzed

I know it's a lie
I'm sorry goodbye
I don't have the time
I won't let these American dreams
Fall at the seams tonight

The site of new frontiers
Sets me beside myself in sorrow
And all my reckless fears
Lead me to hide my pride and swallow

The touching of our hands
In silent winds I use to bury jitters
In swept, decaying sands
Still a light at night will blink and flitter

I wish I could see through your cross eyes
And analyze
Why I can't be all that you need
I'm paralyzed

I know it's a lie
I'm sorry goodbye
I don't have the time
I won't let these American dreams
Fall at the seams tonight
