Slow, the softness comes to know
The moment she loses control
And no illusion comes alone
Delusions sleep together with open doors
And though this dream will come to pass
The wreckage will linger and last
While no illusion comes alone
I search, and search alone, for that of home
And it calls me closer
It calls me closer now
It calls me home
And it swallows me whole
And so, the doubts you've left to grow
Will only be darkness around this note
While no illusion comes alone
I search, and search alone, for that of home
It calls me closer
It calls me closer now
I feel her moving in and out
She swallows me whole
And the ghosts haunting this country
Keep closing in on me
And these dreams
I'll dream in a foreign tongue. And I
I'll keep these waking nightmares still alive
And the hopes I thought could still keep
My dreams from bleeding out
Are best expressed in these bitter words that I
I bite down on to keep myself alive
This is what I asked to see
And this is my American dream
This is what I asked to see
And this is my
American dream
