Postmark My Compass

American Nightmare

I am bleeding through 
Writing songs for you 
If I could say what I felt 
Then I would draw for you 
I'm just a boy letting go of his heart 
Because the days are like knives 
And the knives are so sharp 
One more kiss - so I don't forget 
And then I'll open my arms 
To embrace the regret 
Fragile dreams - fistfight kings 
Slowdance queens... 
Oh pick me please 
Sending "get well" cards to former stars 
'Cause I know how it feels 
To have fallen so far 
Talentless yet nothingless 
Than hopelessly in awe of you 
I want nostalgia forever 
If we throw this life away 
Will we ever have to live again? 
Say "no" and I'm all yours 
Say "yes" and I'll still pull 
Tell the boys I'll see them soon 
Your lips were the softest yet 
North, east, south and west... 
I gave you my very best 
I left my heart in yesterday 
(Remember how it used to be) 
I shot myself full of memory 
(Before the world turned on me?) 
Forget what you know 
Forget that it hurts 
The "new days" are coming... 
They're getting worse 
I am bleeding through 
Writing songs for you 
They're all for you
