Album: An American Paradox

Lyrics

One gaze from its electric eye immortalizes you forever in their hearts and minds
Messiah of the people savior of the servants on this runaway train without a cause

Everyday I tell myself I gotta find a way out of this american paradox
Paddling like a dog to the bone that's going to splinter me and they know what's best for my life

Winding backwards it creates a dischord that calls itself progression on a grander scale
The supermodel monster turned crackhead at the wheel of this automated virgin sacrifice

Everybody step in line it's time to get your piece of the american paradox
Biting at the hand that fed me this illusion now I'm in for the ride of my life

This perversion gains it's momentum my resistance turns to fear at its changing face
I sold my soul to forces still unknown and I don't want it back now

Prescription dementia riddle-ated protection from impurities of the heart and mind
I've cancelled my subscription broken covenant now there is no question whose side are you on

Ahhhhhh
Everyday I tell myself I gotta find a way out of this american paradox
Biting at the hand that fed me this illusion now I'm in for the ride of my life

I don't want to feed myself the appetite of excess
I don't want to be another voice in the wind
Got it easy in a world that's not supposed to be
It makes me wonder if I think too much about me
In a world full of mirrors, your reflection is all you see and I can't stand what's becoming of me
So I'll scratch my eyes, rip this face off, and rebuild something new for the fucking world to choke on
