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 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 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 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 erase the memory
But what have you done to my head
