American Dream

Please don't say a word
About what you think you heard
I think it only will make matters worse
I mean in hindsight this blessing has become a curse
And now I feel like I'm leaving in the back of a hearse

Give me something real something I can feel
Is it love nah that's just an idea
To sell records cards and prescriptions
Picket fences and have I mentioned
It's just a scheme to sell a dream to make you believe
That you can do anything that you put your mind to
But if you live where I do none of that
Fucking none of that is true

I've been trying to stay off the pills
To keep my mind clean and now I can't sleep
Therefore I can't dream
And it's feels like the world is starting to fall on me
This is something I should have foreseen
Straight back to losing my religion
Oh God help me please tell me its fiction
They put a man on the moon
And my anxiety got me trapped in my room
I feel like I'm fucking doomed

Give me something real something I can feel
Is it love nah that's just an idea
To sell records cards and prescriptions
Picket fences and have I mentioned
It's just a scheme to sell a dream to make you believe
That you can do anything that you put your mind to
But if you live where I do none of that
Fucking none of that is true

It's like free falling without a parachute
Or hanging by a noose
I'm so tired of being a recluse
Can I just go outside once
Without feeling like I have to be drunk
Believe it or not God has a plan
And he's leaving it all in Drake's hands
Believe it or not God has a plan
and he's leaving it all in Trump's hands
Ah fuck it man

Give me something real something I can feel
Is it love nah that's just an idea
To sell records cards and prescriptions
Picket fences and have I mentioned
It's just a scheme to sell a dream to make you believe
That you can do anything that you put your mind to
But if you live where I do none of that
Fucking none of that is true
