My American Guilt Video (MV)

My American guilt crouches in the corner
Watches me for hours without moving at all
Anorexic. Unapologetic
It's just waiting for me to get up and turn on the TV

Don't back down from this
You are on to something here
It's been way too long since you've felt anything
And all that you have done, the thoughts you've brought to life, this isn't healthy at all

When did you get so quiet? (my American guilt)
I've kept you in no short supply of reasons to sing
We're all so comfortable here
There's no motivation, or emotion, or movement, or breathing...

My video heart picks up on nothing
Conveniently wired not to receive
When life is just a story, it's easy to forget
That you're not the only person who is acting

Don't back down from this. Finally a little truth
It's been way too long since you've used your brain
And all that you have done, the thoughts you've brought to life, this isn't healthy at all

Just sit back
There's nothing to see here
Eat. Sleep. Watch
We'll take care of everything

Don't make a sound
(My American guilt)
