"The American Dream" lyrics

"The American Dream"

A devil smile from the gambler
The deuces are wild
I see the world through a golden eye
Feels like dancing on the edge of the world
Left for dead, left unfurled
Can't catch my breath
Is this what I deserve?

I'm below but I wanna be high

Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
Can't break through can't get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
The American dream

All my senses in overload on this dusty road
A raging iron fist in a velvet glove
This burning chill's running up my spine
Terror in the back of my mind
Drinking the kool aid, cause I'm left behind

And now I'm below but I wanna be high

Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
Can't break through can't get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
The American dream

The road to hell is paved with honest lies
I'm stuck below but I wanna be high

Trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free

Cause I'm trapped inside the American dream
The truth is not what it seems
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
Cause I feel the stare and I feel the fear
Can't break through can't get anywhere
Breaking my neck in a cold cold sweat to be free
In the American, in the American, in the American dream
