American X Lyrics - Baby 81 - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Close your eyes to the world that you see 

And open wide to the one in your dreams 

Theres nothing left that you wanna believe 

Foreign eyes have been torn at the seams 

Youd save yourself from a world without sin 

You're born again with a means to an end 

You're drawing lines in the palm of your hand 

You're holding on to all that youve planned 

Theres nothing here that is left to be saved 

Take a bow to the warrior state 

You throw yourself to the perilous static 

You shut your eyes but the death is romantic 

Youve sold your soul but its only a fake 

Youd kill yourself for a piece of the take 

You lose your mind in a world that leaves nothin 

You're holding on for asylum, reaching for air 

Its all you want, you know youll never forget 

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender 

Its all you know, you know youll never regret 

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters 

No one needs what they think to survive 

You're pulled inside with an appetite blind 

You feast your eyes on American sex 

You sleep in shores of American bliss 

Growing wings from the sorrowless excess 

Your frozen eyes cut the chord to their last depth 

You share your young with the wolves of a nation 

Theres nothing left till you pray for salvation 

Its all you want, you know youll never forget 

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters 

Its all you know, you know youll never regret 

Your open arms, they only seem to surrender all that matters
