American Bones Lyrics by The Stereo State

Crossing Canyons

212

Drunken thumbing through this yearbook, right now I'm pushing 30
These pictures read like paragraphs and I wish I checked out early
Been better than a decade since my feet walked these buildings
They've graduated thousands that will soon be in debt millions
What happened to these pretty girls; the tight and soft skin models?
They're dying in Elizur's, getting bloated behind bottles
Could someone tell me there is no meaning here?
Could you tell me where we lost the will to care?
And oh, I don't think I want to know
Severing...tearing my American bones
The last time I saw you, I didn’t have shit to say
You always hated waiting tables but here we are today
Been better than a decade since we grew and we fell apart
I've tried so hard to hate you but your eyes still break my heart
What happened to that little boy; I used to be much better
I'm dying in Elizur's and I'm trying to forget her
Could someone tell me there is no meaning here?
Could you tell me where we lost the will to care?
And oh, I don't think I want to know
Severing...tearing my American bones
I was walking home and tonight I saw a ghost
As the cold wind blows and I'm so overexposed
I feel nothing. I guess I'm just getting old and miserable in a world I can't control
