An American Paradox

An American Paradox - Strung Out

One gaze from its electric eye immortalizes you forever in their hearts and minds

Messiah of the people savior of the servants on this runaway train without a cause

Everyday I tell myself I gotta find a way out of this American paradox

Paddling like a dog to the bone that's going to splinter me

And they know what's best for my life

Winfing backwards it creates a dischord that calls itself progression on a grander scale

The supermodel monster turned crackhead at the wheel of this automated virgin sacrifice

Everybody step in line it's time to get your piece of the American paradox

Biting at the hand that fed me this illusion now

I'm on for the ride of my life

This perversion gains it's momentum my resistance turns to fear at its changing face

I sold my soul to forces still unknown and I don't want it back

Prescription dementia riddle ated protection from impurities of the heart and mind

I've cancelled my subscription broken covenant now

There is no question whose side you are on

Ah ah

Everyday I tell myself I gotta find a way out of this American paradox

Paddling like a dog to the bone that's going to splinter me

And they know what's best for my life

I don't want to feed myself the appetite of excess

I don't want to be another voice in the wind

Got it easy in a world that's not supposed to be

Sometimes I wonder if I think too much about me

In a world full of mirrors your reflection is all you see

And I can't stand what's becoming of me

So I'll scratch my eyes rip this face off

And rebuild something new for the world to choke on
