Americans

I appeared out of the dark after your father passed

I stood and took the place of all that emptiness

You said that you never thought that God existed

But someone had to answer

To coincidences

So we'll just play it safe

And we'll forget that we ever had any questions

(Yea!)

I said I'd give you everything I had

When I had nothing left

But I might just bring you down

I went from filling to becoming all that emptiness

That I saw inside you

And I would stay if I could just learn to shut my mouth

'Cause everything I say just makes it so much worse

I work my hands down to the bone

So everything I touch just feels like stone

Well, yeah, I sold myself short

You don't need me

No one does

Because I'm nothing

I'm no one

I don't care if I make it

I'm stranded

I'm nowhere

I'm straight up sinking

I'm not letting anyone bother trying to patch these leaks

There's nothing to hold

There's nothing to keep

My ship has sailed

I got stranded before the storm took over

There's only one way out

I was so tempted to give in ahead for clearer weather

But there's a knot in my gut that screams "you won't end up closer!"

There's only one way out

And it's the hardest one to take

And I'm not scared

No, I'm not

Because I'm nothing

I'm no one

I don't care if I make it

I'm stranded

I'm nowhere

I'm straight up sinking

I'm not letting anyone bother trying to patch these leaks

There's nothing to hold

There's nothing to keep

And I prayed every single night before I slept

And now there's just no one to talk to

And I prayed every single night before I slept

So now there's just no one to talk to
