American Man

(album: Silhouettes & Sand - 2015)

Green ties pulled tight like nooses
Hands shake I'm taken in
Dreams die in time I lose it
Farewell my innocence
My worth is measured in signs
Next to numbers on the line
These walls they've ruined my eyes
And there's no end of this in sight

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless
Now my days slip by from 9-5
And I, I can't do this
No I, I can't do this

Green eyes in ties excuses
Hands shake I'm caving in
White lies divide I choose this
Farewell my faithfulness
I've been seduced by my grief
And my mistress calling me
My fingers scratch 'til they bleed
Don't I deserve what makes me happy

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless
Now my days slip by from 9-5
And I, I can't do this
No, I can't do this

I don't see
How this could be worth living for
No Iiiiii don't see
There has to be something more in this

Is this all I dreamed of
When I was young and fearless
Now my days slip by from 9-5
And I, I can't do this
No, I can't do this
