American Blood
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don’t want to go out tonight
Find a show on a Saturday night
I’d rather stay here and wait
Sit alone playing video games
I got enough friends
No one else needs to know my name
And yeah I know my face is aging
But it’s okay, yeah, it’s okay
But it’s so cold
Humanity grows old
The man in me soaks up American Blood
And I’m so scared
That all of my worst fears
Have followed me out here, I’m mad at myself
I try to keep my head up, my head up
I try to keep myself from feeling this way
I’m tired and I’m fucked up, in this rest stop
It’s only in my head, but it’s not gonna change
It goes on and on, so electric
Like a full-fledged panic inside
And I know you said, that it’s not my fault
But the truth is just so easy to hide
I gotta keep my head up, my head up
I gotta keep myself from feeling ashamed
I’m tired and I’m fucked up and I can’t stop
It’s only in my head, but it’s not gonna change
Well it burns slow
Somewhere inside and nobody knows that I’m here
Stoned
Drinking alone and out of control
I gotta keep my head up, my head up
I gotta keep myself from feeling ashamed
I’m crying cuz I’m fucked up baby I know that
It’s only in my head, but it’s not gonna change
