Protest Song #00 - American Nightmare

Well some things never change…

You’ll never see this face again

I’m out sleeping with the stars in the shallow end

'Life' ('love') is just a word I don’t want to say

I don’t care if tomorrow is a new day

I’ll write the song again

How about the one who thought life wasn’t his friend?

Why would he want the words to be shared?

When no one listens, and no one cares

I’d skip this fucking song

If you don’t want to know what’s fucking wrong

Did you hear my acceptance speech?

I quit.

I quit.

I fucking quit."

You don’t want to know why I can’t quite talk

You don’t want to know what makes my heart stop

You wrote my requiem

With no words, no life, just desperation

There’s no truth like the lie I live

I’m a sinking ship drowning by a burning bridge

There’s no cure for the «Dreamer's Disease»

I’m a boat of false hope, lost at sea

Today, tonight, tomorrow

I am truly by myself

You don’t want to know why I can’t quite talk

You don’t want to know what makes my heart stop

You say those fucking words, but what the fuck do they mean?

Nothing

Life is just a word that I won’t say

Love is just a word that I’ll never know

Life is just a game that I won’t play

Love is just a lie that I won’t believe
