American Disease (feat. Kellin Quinn)

from Lost Years by 09

/

lyrics

I found a new religion
That feeds on my addiction
It fills me up inside
It makes me feel alive
We make our own decisions
Set fire to our intentions
Oh, fill me up with lies
Make me feel alright

Prescribe the things that I need
There’s nothing wrong with being callous
(We remain unconscious)
And when there’s nothing to believe
We walk a tightrope we can’t balance
(And then it all comes crashing down)

We all wanna be free
But do we know what it means?
Bring me to my knees
(It’s so much better being numb)
We break apart from the seams
This is the life we lead
We buy into the deceit
It’s the American disease

I speak but you don’t listen
Built the walls to my own prison
I locked myself inside
The cage of my own mind
I make my own decisions
Set fire to my intuition
At least it gets me high
It makes me feel alive

Prescribe the things that I need
There’s nothing wrong with being callous
(We remain unconscious)
And when there’s nothing to believe
We walk a tightrope we can’t balance
(And then it all comes crashing down)

We all wanna be free
But do we know what it means?
Bring me to my knees
(It’s so much better being numb)
We break apart from the seams
This is the life we lead
We buy into the deceit
It’s the American disease

We choke on our pride
When faced with the truth
Tell me, what is the price?
When we’ve got everything to lose

Into the divide
We’ve lost ourselves

Now my palms start to sweat
And my knees to shake
We’re building a fever
How much more can we take?

I never wanted this
And now I’ll run from it

We all wanna be free
But do we know what it means?
Bring me to my knees
(It’s so much better being numb)
We break apart from the seams
This is the life we lead
We buy into the deceit
It’s the American disease
It’s the American dream
