Sell You On the American Dream

Sell you on the American Dream

Wake up and realize that it’s a nightmare
Razor wire on the border just to keep you from
Realizing the American Lie what comes next

That I’m living in yesterday when it’s present day
Selling the American Dream on false promises

Going down the rabbit hole come up thirsty
Trying to find a kernel of truth drowned in orange lies

When is enough that is not enough
All the sudden it’s feels so normal

Up is down down is not up enough
In the present day of our differences

Scream through the noise hoping to avoid me
I’m scream the truth that livestreams my dreams

Sleeping on a pillow of truth
I’m the American Dream within you

Devil in the Details of lies that we live through
I’m American born of immigrants

Cast demons on the border of disorder that
Look at our tired from Ellis Island (our grandparents)

Middle class Eisenhower lived in the suburbs
Sold us a dream of prosperity in the USA

I’m the American in the market

Present day suburbs decay today

The American Dream is now fleeting

I’m the American Dream ghost sleeping
