Sleepwalking Through The American Dream

from Man Of Leisure Man Of War by the Lake Vernon Drowning

lyrics

The devil said
Don’t say you heard this from me
But contrary to popular belief
I’m not a thief
I make my living honestly
Honestly I cant tell tell a lie
One day your heart will bleed dry
And ill help you leave your mark
Before you die

People are starved for a terrified heart
Just undo the tourniquet
And let it bleed
Tie it umbilical
To your sleeve
And you’ll get everything you want
And everything you need
You’re sleepwalking through the american dream

The devil said
Don’t make a deal unless it’s guaranteed
But i’m not sure I understand what that means
I’m caught between what I want
And what I need
Kid wake up and see that things aren’t
Just what they seem
You’re sleepwalking through the american dream
Sleepwalking through the american dream
