American Beauty

My mind is racing like a radio playing
It’s cutting through even in my sleep
Through the noise comes crashing softly
A voice that tells me to keep on dreaming
Something new comes around each moment
One step to the next big thing
Getting things that we really want
Wanting things that we already have
Feeling the way that it should be
A changing of my design
No use for longing after lost time
My body’s aching with this pain i’m losing
You’re the only one under my skin
Contemplating this strange disaster
I’m holding on to the waves of the past year
We got lessons to learn, time to burn
Seconds become hours become years
This world is right here for you
This world is for you now
Feeling the way that it should be
A changing of my design
No use for longing after lost time
Reveling in your reflection
Painting a thousand words
Dream again american beauty
Suddenly she speaks to me
Helps me heal the past and set me free
What needs saying is often unsaid
Scream our lungs out to listeners deaf
Waiting ‘til the morning comes
Cause it’s crying me awake
