American Burnout

Gold days
Give them away
Away
The whole town is burning
Burning, burning
Slowly
We slip into a haze
So weak
Simmer in the flames
Caffeine swimming in your veins
No sleep
Bad dreams
Up when the lights out
Everything is right right now
All of our eyes are down
A world without skies
With our heads in the cloud
Many just blend in the crowd
Burning burning
Break and bend and bow
I am in the fire in America
Wake wake me up
Out of my way
I'm in a rush
Flicking off each other
From our cars and trucks
Bigger, better, faster
Never push it far enough
Gold days
Give them away
Away
The whole town is burning
Burning, burning
Stop, look and listen to the waves
See the light
Sitting in the shade
You're living like a prisoner in chains
If I say
Time isn't minutes in a day
Frozen moments are golden
We're giving them away
Fireworks and fireflies
Fade
Forever for some
American sons
What are you running from?
Where are we running to?
What am I going to do?
Because I'm becoming numb
People under the gun
Overmedicated
I'm one of the ones
Bitter
Because I never made it
Out of the naked city
Sedated
Fameless silhouettes
Sinking into the pavement
Mind racing at night
It's like a water down imitation of life
But I'm burning
Burning burning
This town is burning
Gold days
Give them away
Away
The whole town is burning
Burning, burning
Gold days
Give them away
Away
The whole town is burning
Burning, burning
