The American Hotel System - 21st (Live at Variare Fest) Lyrics

The twenty-first century
Screams like a ghost
From years I've misspent
Trying to fill up a hole
Drilled by lonely
Prideful sorrow

I'm letting go
Down from my throne
I'll never know
What my life could be
In this twenty-first century

It's twenty-one years now
That I've been alone
Trying to fake love
From this pedestal
Testimony
To all that I boast

I'm letting go
Down from my throne
Cuz' I'll never know
What my life could be
In this twenty-first century

It's twenty-one days now
The habit is formed
The old man is gone now
A new life is born
Growing slowly
A heart that's adorned

I'm letting go
Down from my throne
Cuz' I'll never know
What my life could be
In this twenty-first century

Voices
Saying I'm wrong
Saying that selflessness
Doesn't belong
It's self-matrimony
So just play along
Yeah

I'm letting go
Down from my throne
Cuz' I'll never know
What my life could be
In this twenty-first century
