American Dynasty
Battery acid running through my veins
I've been collapsing underneath an invisible weight
And I've got a million daggers covered in my own blood
Cause I know an infinite number of ways to self destruct
All the voices in my head corroding my confidence
Am I sick or is it society?
Toss me in with the masses I'm anticlimactic
I check all the boxes least that's what the doc says
I fit right into an American dynasty
When I talked to my doctor
She gave me a little blue pill
Then I went to my therapist
About the emptiness I'm trying to fill
Scrolling on Instagram
Hungry for something and
Then I only feel worse
So I convince myself skipping a meal
Will somehow give me worth
All the voices in my head corroding my confidence
Am I sick or is it society?
Toss me in with the masses I'm anticlimactic
I check all the boxes least that's what the doc says
I fit right in to an American dynasty
So my hollow eyes get pathologized
A distracting disguise for a bigger demise
If everyone's got it, maybe I'm not the problem
I know I'm not perfect, I got shit to work on
But I'm looking at screens more than people and trees
I'm starting to think it's in the air that I breathe
Cause going to school means a lifetime of debt
To end up with a mediocre paycheck at best
And consumerism tells me to buy useless shit
While we kill the only planet where we get to live
And I'm one broken bone from ending up broke
And all of the isms come and bring it on home
Some days it's easier just to get stoned
Am I sick or is it society?
Toss me in with the masses I'm anticlimactic
But fuck all the boxes I know what the doc says
Don't want this to be my American dynasty
I've been collapsing underneath an invisible weight
And I've got a million daggers covered in my own blood
Cause I know an infinite number of ways to self destruct
All the voices in my head corroding my confidence
Am I sick or is it society?
Toss me in with the masses I'm anticlimactic
I check all the boxes least that's what the doc says
I fit right into an American dynasty
When I talked to my doctor
She gave me a little blue pill
Then I went to my therapist
About the emptiness I'm trying to fill
Scrolling on Instagram
Hungry for something and
Then I only feel worse
So I convince myself skipping a meal
Will somehow give me worth
All the voices in my head corroding my confidence
Am I sick or is it society?
Toss me in with the masses I'm anticlimactic
I check all the boxes least that's what the doc says
I fit right in to an American dynasty
So my hollow eyes get pathologized
A distracting disguise for a bigger demise
If everyone's got it, maybe I'm not the problem
I know I'm not perfect, I got shit to work on
But I'm looking at screens more than people and trees
I'm starting to think it's in the air that I breathe
Cause going to school means a lifetime of debt
To end up with a mediocre paycheck at best
And consumerism tells me to buy useless shit
While we kill the only planet where we get to live
And I'm one broken bone from ending up broke
And all of the isms come and bring it on home
Some days it's easier just to get stoned
Am I sick or is it society?
Toss me in with the masses I'm anticlimactic
But fuck all the boxes I know what the doc says
Don't want this to be my American dynasty
