[Verse 1]
What makes you so much better than me?
Constantly judged for what I've grown to be
You find a reason to stand on your own feet and turned yourself to a fucking black sheep
I really cannot believe it
No rhyme or reason, no method to fight this
Identity crisis
Get a grip, living so lifeless
Wake the fuck up

[Refrain]
This is not the, the American dream

[Verse 2]
I try my best to cut the bullshit out of my life and all you do is push me farther and farther down
What will you do when you're left out to dry?
Standing above you, I'll make sure you know

[Breakdown]
Why I can't take this shit anymore
I'm so sick of it
Rah

[Bridge]
Underneath your calm exposure is a pitiless fuck just waiting and begging for attention
You know you're full of shit and don't fucking forget it
There is no heaven above, you're not a victim of fate
And every day's a new step closer to a foot in the grave
No hell beneath your feet, you just end up in the dirt
With no purpose, but to end up six feet deep in the earth
Human nature, no complexity
Forget about it; your time is up
Heart of stone, cold to the touch
[Refrain]
This is not the American dream
This is not the American dream
This is not the American dream
This is not the American dream

[Breakdown]
One more step forward and two steps back
Three chances you threw away
Now you won't get them back
Fuck it all
No remorse
Just let yourself go
Let your shitty life take course
Fuck it all
I fucking hate this nonsense
Waste of life
You'll find your consequence

[Verse 3]
I don't understand who you think you are, but you aren't shit to me
You don't hold a place in anyone's heart

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
How many years?
How many years did you waste looking for false friends and material possessions?
Goddamn it, no point in my confessing
What the fuck?
[Breakdown]
Feed your bones to the wolves of these social norms
Drain your blood in the pool of society
Peel back your skin calloused by the American dream
You spent your whole life pretending
You don't know the difference
