America Anonymous
[Verse 1]
There’s a beast in me, pent up shivering
I can kill it with a quick fix or use it creatively
Help it find a way out through the hands and mouth
If I run to the knife every time I snap, I feel good, then dead
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It’s like a nightmare where I cannot scream
These fantasies aren’t as pleasing as they used to be
Facing the misery of this indulgence
Running on empty, needing healing, healing
[Chorus]
So please, protect me from demons
America anonymous
Even if the pain’s so strong, keep me conscious
America anonymous
Woah-oh-oh oh-oh-oooh
Keep me conscious, America anonymous
Woah-oh-oh oh-oh-oooh
Keep me conscious, America anonymous
(America anonymous, America anonymous)
(America anonymous, America anonymous)
[Verse 2]
Got a feel good knife, let me forget life
Make it all seem fine, but deep down, I’m wrecked inside
Never coming to terms with these deadly words
That I’ve uttered to myself under my own breath, I'm on the run again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sprawled out on the ground, no adrenaline
My mind is far from homeostasis
'Cause I’ve been chasing highs when my eyelids are heavy
And I need some healing, healing
[Chorus]
So please, protect me from demons
America anonymous
Even if the pain’s so strong, keep me conscious
America anonymous
Woah-oh-oh oh-oh-oooh
Keep me conscious, America anonymous
Woah-oh-oh oh-oh-oooh
Keep me conscious, America anonymous
(America anonymous, America anonymous)
(America anonymous, America anonymous)
[Bridge]
I should be high on the sky, not my phone light
Swipe by, miss my life, Dorian Grey style
I should be high on the sky, not my phone light
I won’t be a slave to these vices
Head down in line, blending to nothing
[Chorus]
So please, protect me from demons
America anonymous
Even if the pain’s so strong, keep me conscious
America anonymous
Woah-oh-oh oh-oh-oooh
Keep me conscious, America anonymous
Woah-oh-oh oh-oh-oooh
Keep me conscious, America anonymous
(America anonymous, America anonymous)
(America anonymous, America anonymous)
