American X

Close your eyes to the world that you see And open wide to the one in your dreams There's nothing left that you wanna believe Foreign eyes have been torn at the seams You'd save yourself from a world without sin You're born again with a means to an end Drawing lines in the palm of your hand Your holding on to all that you've planned There's nothing here that is left to be saved Take a bow to the warrior state You throw yourself to the perilous static You shut your eyes but the death is romantic You've sold your soul but it's only a fake You'd kill yourself for a piece of the take You lose your mind in a world that leaves nothin' You're holding on for asylum, reaching for air It's all you want, you know you'll never forget Your open arms, they only seem to surrender It's all you know, you know you'll never regret Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters No one needs what they think to survive Pulled inside with an appetite blind You feast your eyes on American sex You sleep in shores of American bliss Growing wings from the sorrowless excess Your frozen eyes cut the chord to their last depth You share your young with the wolves of a nation There's nothing left 'til you pray for salvation It's all you want, you know you'll never forget Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters It's all you know, you know you'll never regret Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters I'm the last of the messiahs All your lost star signs
