American Beauty - Ray Wilson and Stiltskin

Lay down your life
They said,
Let me inside your soul.
Always remember this.
It´s for the sake of us all

American Beauty,
Tell me what´s going
To become of me
What have you done to my head?
It feels like you´re living
Inside of me.
American Beauty,
Living a lie, I shouldn´t be.
I want to believe it instead.
And never will erase the memory.

If I can´t see, why not?
Have I been blinded by trust?
Or are you testing me,
I feel this desperately
Cause I seem to pray a lot.
I´m I lost, in my fear
Cause the more that I look,
The less I believe
In something I don´t want to see

American Beauty,
Tell me what´s going
To become of me
What have you done to my head?
It feels like you´re living
Inside of me.
American Beauty,
Living a lie, I shouldn´t be.
I want to believe it instead.
And never will erase the memory.

Do I believe in myself,
Or just don´t know me
I´ve got the world
At my feet and a family
The only fight I have´s
With people I don´t know
And the truth is,
I don´t like where I´m going

American Beauty,
Tell me what´s going become of me
What have you done to my head?
It feels like you´re living inside of me
American Beauty, living a lie,
I shouldn´t be
I want to believe it instead
And never will erase the memory
But what have you done to my head
It feels like you´re living inside of me
I want to believe it instead
And never will erase the memory
