American Dream
by Silverstein

Album: Decade - Live at the El Mocambo

It was on a wedding day
When my heart began to stray
Never thought I'd make such a big mistake
Throw my life away

I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
Keepin' this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't heal
It's all your fault

I've been shattered and wrecked
My hand's covered in blood
Scars on my skin
I forgot how to feel
Now I'm weak with deceit
My skin is paper thin

We get through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holdin' it in
We go through this
Over and over again

I go years without tears
In a life with no fear
A life without you
Now I'm breaking my back as
I cover my tracks
My skin is paper thin once again

We get through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holdin' it in
We go through this
Over and over again

I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
Keepin' this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't heal
It's all your fault

My american dream
wasn't ever to lie, steal, or cheat
He won't leave, all for this
what's the point?
I wish they would die!

We get through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holdin' it in
We go through this
Over and over again (Over again)

We get through this
Feeling it, keeping it, foldin' it in (keeping it, foldin' it in)
We go through this
Over and over again (Over and over again)

This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
