American X

Close your eyes to the world that you see
 And open wide to the one in your dreams
 There's nothing left that you wanna believe
 Foreign eyes have been torn at the seams
 You'd save yourself from a world without sin
 You're born again with a means to an end
 Drawing lines in the palm of your hand
 Your holding on to all that you've planned
 ♪
 There's nothing here that is left to be saved
 Take a bow to the warrior state
 You throw yourself to the perilous static
 You shut your eyes but the death is romantic
 You've sold your soul but it's only a fake
 You'd kill yourself for a piece of the take
 You lose your mind in a world that leaves nothin'
 You're holding on for asylum, reaching for air
 ♪
 It's all you want, you know you'll never forget
 Your open arms, they only seem to surrender
 It's all you know, you know you'll never regret
 Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters
 ♪
 No one needs what they think to survive
 Pulled inside with an appetite blind
 You feast your eyes on American sex
 You sleep in shores of American bliss
 Growing wings from the sorrowless excess
 Your frozen eyes cut the chord to their last depth
 You share your young with the wolves of a nation
 There's nothing left 'til you pray for salvation
 ♪
 It's all you want, you know you'll never forget
 Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters
 It's all you know, you know you'll never regret
 Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters
 ♪
 I'm the last of the messiahs
 All your lost star signs
