"The American Dream" lyrics
"The American Dream"
I wouldn't call this a victory
We pick sides and fight because we can't agree to disagree
You never wanna listen, you just speak
Light a match to the bridge but there's no difference between you and me
Show your teeth
Try to cover up your insecurity
Underneath
But throwing salt in the wound won't stop the bleed
I don't know who I can trust anymore
I need a "he said" "she said" reset
Give me truth, give me something to believe in
Sometimes I feel like we're asking for more
We live for the war, but we don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We live and die in desire of our pride
Look away from corruption 'cause what's out of spite is out of mind
Show your teeth
Try to cover up your insecurity
Underneath
But this is not what it means to be free
I don't know who I can trust anymore
I need a "he said" "she said" reset
Give me truth, give me something to believe in
Sometimes I feel like we're asking for more
We live for the war, but we don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
Vultures circle in the land of the free
The American dream is tearing at the seams
The American dream is never what it seems
I don't know who I can trust anymore
I need a "he said" "she said" reset
Give me truth, give me something to believe in
Sometimes I feel like we're asking for more
We live for the war, but we don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for
We don't know what we're dying for

Black Veil Brides - "In The End" In the end
As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh)
Who will tell the story of your life?
In the end

Hands Like Houses - "Division Symbols" I won't ask for a second
I won't ask for a chance
I won't look to the heavens

As a taste of truth is burning

So, so, so...
