"American Nightmare" lyrics

When we try to hard to be something we're not
When we sell ourselves too short but it's the only chance we've got
Wasting hours counting dollars staring face down at the floor
Is this what you call life?
You're not dreaming anymore

American Nightmare
Is anyone out there who can save us from ourselves?
I know that you don't care cause we're going nowhere
And I'm stuck inside this hell
So we say we're all okay
Don't need you anyway
If I die, at least we tried
We refuse to waste our lives on the American Nightmare

When we go to far to prove that we still bleed
If it's pain that makes us real then why can't I feel anything
Second guesses, wasted chances, would you live for something more?
You're not dreaming anymore

American Nightmare
Is anyone out there who can save us from ourselves?
I know that you don't care cause we're going nowhere
And I'm stuck inside this hell
So we say we're all okay
Don't need you anyway
If I die, at least we tried
We refuse to waste our lives on the American Nightmare

Back and forth, my life stuck on repeat
Stand aside as they try to keep me sick of it all
Fear controls the world, so set it off

American Nightmare
Is anyone out there who can save us from ourselves?
I know that you don't care cause we're going nowhere
And I'm stuck inside this hell
So we say we're all okay
Don't need you anyway
If I die, at least we tried
We refuse to waste our lives on the American Nightmare
