American Dream
04:23
|

Graduating,
Starting a family
apartment living
in the harsh reality of dreaming
I can't sleep
i'm not awake either
i'm an American dreamer
Black mirrors on the backs of our eyelids
who knew when we were kids we weren't meant to get it
politikin love to talk about all men
but what they dreamin'
I can't sleep, i'm not awake either
Cuz I gotta get paid
I gotta get paid
I gotta get paid
We're not alive tonight
we're living suicide
but its alright
its not like I died
I can't sleep
but everybody sure is down to pretend we're living
So this is a shout to the reality warriors.
Seven thousand days a week
and forthy thousand weeks a year
all existence is an echo
i'm not here
i'm not here
i'm not here
i'm not here
I can't sleep, i'm not awake either
cuz I gotta get paid

I've got my phone
I don't need no one
nothing but a dial tone to keep me alone
i'm a mindless drone
I think i'm gonna flip it
my chairs got grooves I sit and think in em
I always wished it was a dream
just hold your heart and make it cream
don't cry for me
I've got digital interaction
code overcome
code over cum
digital interaction
code overcome
code over come
do it solo takes less time
saves me money don't need nobody
got so many friends they're enemies
nobody can do me the way I do me
couldn't be me, I'm a stable genius
you can't tell me nothin
I got digital interaction
Code overcome
code over cum
digital interaction
code overcome
code over cum
Get out my house
and get off my lawn
its been too long
can't come back home
I don't breathe when i'm afraid
I never gave anything away
my own code has become bullshit
I just can't quit it
digital interaction
code overcome
code over cum
digital interaction
code overcome
code overcome
one's a crowd
one's a crowd
everybody out
everybody out
ones a crowd
ones a crowd
everybody out

Backlash

forever can't be the same as one lifetime of lost faith
i've got some shoulder spirit.
can you hear it?
one says to give up
i can't hear the other
heavy breaths breach the cracks
they're held back
see the from the dark
they're eager to be
a part of it all
"Hey i'm new here, can you show me around?
My slate is clear, i've got no background....wanna light it up?"
But its never enough,so I erupt,
I can't fill my cup
but I erupt.
I feel you, when we're intertwined
A hard line, Black and White
I was the spark that made your Daddy ignite
you say he's from a different time? Alright,
you say he's from a different TIME? Alright,
you say h'es from a different time...alright,
Why do I even try?
Its cause I really really wanna
I really wanna behave
I really wanna behave
I really wanna behave,
but I can't relate
Now let's play for keeps,
I feel something
Do you feel me?
Just lock me down so I can be free

the surfing sun set out to sea
and its a surf punk summer
yeah its a surf punk summer
There's no sun at night
its dark summer time
make it right tonight
