American Dream
She locked the door when he came home
But I heard everything through the walls' holes
It smelled like garbage and so did I
Then they took me away to picket-fenced lies
They thought they could protect me from them
Eleven angry little boys wanting to be men
They took what was left of my innocence
Skin like snowflakes and her voice like a diamond
She never sold what they were buying
Things are never as they seem
Too scared to look into her eyes, yeah
She's shedding her skin like a spider
She's living the American dream
Everyday I wake up to vomit
It makes me sick but I love it
Maybe tragedy's magical after all
But my brain doesn't feel like mine anymore
There were men watching me in the shower
And I tried to take back my power
So he took what I loved away from me
Death kissed me and made me bleed
Skin like snowflakes and her voice like a diamond
She never sold what they were buying
Things are never as they seem
Too scared to look into her eyes, yeah
She's shedding her skin like a spider
She's living the American dream
Skin like snowflakes and her voice like a diamond
She never sold what they were buying
Things are never as they seem
Too scared to look into her eyes, yeah
She's shedding her skin like a spider
She's living the American dream
But I heard everything through the walls' holes
It smelled like garbage and so did I
Then they took me away to picket-fenced lies
They thought they could protect me from them
Eleven angry little boys wanting to be men
They took what was left of my innocence
Skin like snowflakes and her voice like a diamond
She never sold what they were buying
Things are never as they seem
Too scared to look into her eyes, yeah
She's shedding her skin like a spider
She's living the American dream
Everyday I wake up to vomit
It makes me sick but I love it
Maybe tragedy's magical after all
But my brain doesn't feel like mine anymore
There were men watching me in the shower
And I tried to take back my power
So he took what I loved away from me
Death kissed me and made me bleed
Skin like snowflakes and her voice like a diamond
She never sold what they were buying
Things are never as they seem
Too scared to look into her eyes, yeah
She's shedding her skin like a spider
She's living the American dream
Skin like snowflakes and her voice like a diamond
She never sold what they were buying
Things are never as they seem
Too scared to look into her eyes, yeah
She's shedding her skin like a spider
She's living the American dream
