Sky Ferreira - American Dream lyrics

rate me

I'm learning lessons to make mistakes,

If I get burned no embers break.

You told me I'm my destiny,

While your power gets the best of me.

Repeatedly I get neglected,

You claim I am unperfected.

Now watch my frustration grow,

And wonder why this girl let go.

Chorus:

Do what you want, make me into your American Dream.

Say what you want, just another part of your mad machine.

Make what you want, who can I blame?

You're all the same.

Isn't jealous sweet, sleeping with the enemy?

I tried fifty states of miserable.

I walk on through, though intolerable.

Emotions blank, no landscapes changed.

I'm at the between a rock and a place.

I might be alright, I could be okay.

I don't think I would try to throw it away.

[Chorus]

If you prescribed anything, numb reality and bring back to me those melodies,

That you always take from me.

[Chorus]
