The American Dream
Why am I infatuated with death If my heart is still pumping
Why dose it feel so real if I am still dreaming
My whole sight of reality changing
The only decision I have to make is that is it for the better
To right wrongs that were meant to stay left
Behind in the scrambled up lies that I call the past
Trying to keep them inside
Only time they come out is when I weep in the silent corners of the universe
Because I am cursed to be miserable
For the rest of my forbidden year
So if you see a tear while a smile lies on my face
Don't be discourage to say "hello" or "what is wrong"
But do not think I am a demon
When the words smothered with blood spill out my mouth
And bled a whole in to your brain
And make you question everything you think is sane and real
Have your mind spinning around in circles until You through up the truth
Because the truth is sickening
But everyone claim they are in titled to hear it
No, Because some can not handle the reason why good hearted people turn dark
Why a child screams for help but still remain helpless
In a room surrounded by people
Why people judge when they are one in the same
why people laugh at others pain
And people like me laugh at pain
Because it brings them laughter for other to think that they can in flick such thing
When pain is their only feeling/emotion
Why the sane are call crazy and the crazy are call sane
how this is just a game
It is a gamble
And there people are being picked of every second that you breathe
Because people are to anti truth and to got damn weak
Because they settle for lies because it is easier to face
and they refuse to believe that the truth will set you free
Because it will releases you from this messed up fantasy
and then you will be able to really pursue the pursuit happiness
without it falling into bits and pieces
By the lies that you were forced to believe
by the pretends or believer
that made you believe in this thing that we learned to call the American Dream
