The Bright Lights Of America

16 year old girl

In a hallowed carved out place

Just looking for some prettiness

But the cuts in her arm don't paint for her,

A very pretty view

In her mind she dreams that she is

Far away from...



The bright lights of America

Life and death in a sold out-erica

To live and die in the heart of America

Where they sell souls

[x2]



A concrete city hell (city hell)

Suburbs that never end (just like an ocean)

One parent lives in each of them

Passed back and forth he huffs glue to escape both bitter home

He's just one of desperate ranks

Who can't break free from...



The bright lights of America

Life and death in a sold out-erica

To live and die in the heart of America

Where they sell souls

[x2]



I just want you to know

There are warehouses full

Of fucked up kids like you and me (can't find a way)

So many lost in strife,

caught in an endless fight

To leave this empty ugly place

I'm leaving you at sea



The bright lights of America

Life and death in a sold out-erica

To live and die in the heart of America

Where they sell souls
