American Dread (A Frontier) Songtext
von Rebuilder

I am a beacon, I am a warning sign
For the benefit of every last restless kid
Who dreams about living a storied life
That′s as close as you'll get, the real world is shit

It will grind you down
Like dust on the cold hard ground
You′ll sleep when you dead
No respite from a life filled with American dread


I am a has-been, I've opened my eyes
Out of touch and irrelevant is what I am now
A tale of caution
A word to the wise
You'll have to take your dream and bury it but you don′t know how
Start with getting older
Get a job and make your rent
You′ll sleep when you're dead
No respite from a life filled with American Dread

But there is a frontier that is earned not found
It takes a better man than me
To break the walls, that strong, surround
And lead a life that′s truly free
And if you make it, promise me one thing
That you won't forget the washed up derelicts
Who tried but didn′t have the strength
It's just so easy to call it quits
Don′t give it up, like I did
Go out and take what's yours
You'll kick and scratch and fight for it
A frontier to be explored
