Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - American X lyrics

rate me

<br>

Close your eyes to the world that you see<br />

And open wide to the one in your dreams<br />

There's nothing left that you wanna believe<br />

Foreign eyes have been torn at the seams<br />

You'd save yourself from a world without sin<br />

You're born again with a means to an end<br />

Drawing lines in the palm of your hand<br />

Your holding on to all that you've planned<br />

<br />

There's nothing here that is left to be saved<br />

Take a bow to the warrior state<br />

You throw yourself to the perilous static<br />

You shut your eyes but the death is romantic<br />

You've sold your soul but it's only a fake<br />

You'd kill yourself for a piece of the take<br />

You lose your mind in a world that leaves nothin'<br />

You're holding on for asylum, reaching for air<br />

<br />

It's all you want, you know you'll never forget<br />

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender<br />

It's all you know, you know you'll never regret<br />

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters<br />

<br />

No one needs what they think to survive<br />

Pulled inside with an appetite blind<br />

You feast your eyes on American sex<br />

You sleep in shores of American bliss<br />

Growing wings from the sorrowless excess<br />

Your frozen eyes cut the chord to their last depth<br />

You share your young with the wolves of a nation<br />

There's nothing left 'til you pray for salvation<br />

<br />

It's all you want, you know you'll never forget<br />

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters<br />

It's all you know, you know you'll never regret<br />

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters<br />

<br />

I'm the last of the messiahs<br />

All your lost star signs

<br><br><br><br>

<br>
