16 year old girl
in a hollow 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
Merica
To live and die
in the heart of America
where they sell souls
The bright lights of America
life and death in a sold out
Merica
To live and die
in the heart of America
where they sell souls
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
their bitter homes
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
Merica
To live and die
in the heart of America
where they sell souls
The bright lights of America
life and death in a sold out
Merica
To live and die
in the heart of America
where they sell souls
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 stride
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
