lyrics

We're at the point of no return.
We're chasing our dreams,
Hoping they're a way off the streets.
I'm giving this all I got
and all I'm taking are these memories,
they haunt me.

Chorus:
I don't know how much I can bear
and if you know how much this mean to me
I've seen blood spilled at the expense of ones self gain
This is not the way it should be,
The American Dream.

I'm a ghost walking through their fate being told.
There's corruption in the nickles and dimes
that carry out their lives.
Take in a line to ease their mind
Pretend that this kind of life is fine.

You lack in virtue and those are my greatest strengths.
I feel betrayal and its blade tracing down my back.
I've seen you want to get out but you're holding on
and if I want it to get better, I got to let go.

The back cigarette burns remind me that's its only getting worst
I have to snap, snap out of it because everything is crashing around.
With or without you:
I'm taking refuge that I can be the difference you said I couldn't be.

Chorus:
I don't know how much I can bear
and if you know how much this mean to me
I seen blood spilled at the expense of ones self gain
This is not the way it should be,
The American Dream.

We're walking on a thin line
You're telling me I wont survive
but this is all we know
and there got to be more.

I'm letting you go
I'm letting this go.
