I try to imagine the best place I¹ve been

Can I go back again ?

Open my eyes, what was no longer exists,

I can¹t go back again

I like to pretend that nothing has changed

And never went too far

But it started to lose me like a four-hour movie

I¹d already seen

Holding onto my memory of what this used to be

Holding onto my memory of you

Sometimes I tell myself that things are O.K.

Another lie but it makes me feel better

Never as old as I was today

I¹m gonna breakdown

In American Pompeii

In American Pompeii

Break myself just to live this way

Never as old, as I was today

American Pompeii

Look in my eyes and see how sick I feel

About what you¹ve become

Filthy and twisted like you never existed

I know what you were

Your beaty forgotten under mountains of schism

I don¹t want to climb

Giving up my memory of what this used to be

Giving up my memory of you

Sometimes I tell myself that things are O.K.

Another lie but it makes me feel better

Never as old as I was today

I¹m gonna breakdown

In American Pompeii

In American Pompeii

Break myself just to live this way

Never as old, as I was today

American Pompeii

Try to imagine the best place I've been

Can I go back again

Open my eyes it just no longer exists

I can¹t go back again

I¹m giving up my memory of what this used to be

Giving up my memory of you
