american man

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
