lyrics

I live in a town
Where ambition is currency
Everyone is an advertisement for themselves

What a time to be alive
What a time to be ambivalent
Still when I look at it all I just have to laugh

There’s a restlessness that lingers on the inside
And an emptiness that hangs unseen in plain sight

I caught a glimpse
Into the eyes of America
It looked right back
And this is what it said

It said we’ve all gone fucking mad
‘Cause I don’t know what’s real
I’m a stranger in my own home

You gotta give up on the past and the ghosts that haunt this place
To make good on the future you gotta look the present in the face

Look out now, I know it looks like there’s nothing to live for
But you’ll forgive the drought with a deluge at the door
Tired and uninspired, but inside I know burns a fire
Bound by chains of love on prisoners of war
Bound by chains of love on prisoners of war
