The American Nightmare by Trace of Lime Lyrics

Open your eyes
Take a look around
Breathe in with all your might
Now now, it's alright
You got nothing to hide
Let the vibrations be your guide
And if you wake up, I'll sing you a lullaby

Now that I'm a little bit older
I can talk, but only to myself
Not much to say
But I'll play the cards I'm dealt
Watch the mr, watch the mrs
Carve the board with their knives
They’re prepared to tell me my place
For the rest of my life
They say pick up, put down
I am a clown
They say congratulations we think
You're good enough to level up
But I've had enough
You're running out of time
Don’t forget to live your life
As you strive to survive
Goodnight

You don't need your hands, your plans
To understand you're not going anywhere

Do you like my funny nose?
Do you like my funny clothes?
Sail across the seven seas
Yes I'll do it if you please
Mr boss man, won't you look at me?
Tie that tie around my neck
And use it as a leash

I've got things to pay for
I've got things to be
I've been waiting all my life to be free

Officer you've made a mistake
I have committed no crime, so why?
I can't tell the difference
If you're Dr. Jekyll or Mr Hyde

He said it's alright to punish
But it's not alright to lie
Cause they all believe a lie
So if you wanna find me
I'll be hiding in my dysfunctional paradise

I'll survive
I’ll keep getting by

I watched him open his eyes
But he can’t see anything
In his sight, in his sight
In his sight
I’ll give you everything in my life
But where is my life
Where is my life
Where is my life
Where is my life
Goodnight
