lyrics
Sitting on a bench downtown, alone in a sea of faces
Wish I could change my luck around, but oh God, how I have changed
I had plans, coulda gone real far, but I lack the motivation
So here I sit, an anxious wreck, drugged up on medication
I don't dream anymore
I can't even fall asleep, it seems I've lost the ability
And I can't take anymore
Without a penny to my name, I am the new American shame
Slaving away my weeks and days, I was blindsided by the future
Spent a fortune on education and I should have realized sooner
Positive thinking won't pay the rent, but I consider myself lucky
At least I got two dead end jobs and my dog still loves a fuck like me
I don't dream anymore
I can't even fall asleep, it seems I've lost the ability
And I can't take anymore
Without a penny to my name, I am the new American shame
Wake me up, I need to breathe
I want to feel, I want to dream
I've felt so numb, it's been so long
Just 'cause it's normal, doesn't mean it's not wrong
I don't dream anymore
I can't even fall asleep, it seems I've lost the ability
And I can't take anymore
Without a penny to my name, I am the new American-
I don't dream anymore
I can't even fall asleep, it seems I've lost the ability
And I can't take anymore
Without a penny to my name, I am the new American shame
