American Pompeii             
             
I try to imagine the best place I've been 
Can I go back again? 
Open my eyes, what was no longer exists, 
I can't go back again 
I like to pretend that nothing has changed 
And never went too far 
But it started to lose me like a four-hour movie 
I'd already seen 
Holding onto my memory of what this used to be 
Holding onto my memory of you 

Sometimes I tell myself that things are O.K. 
Another lie but it makes me feel better 
Never as old as I was today 
I'm gonna breakdown 

In American Pompeii 
In American Pompeii 
Break myself just to live this way 
Never as old, as I was today 
American Pompeii 

Look in my eyes and see how sick I feel 
About what you've become 
Filthy and twisted like you never existed 
I know what you were 
Your beauty forgotten under mountains of schism 
I don't want to climb 
Giving up my memory of what this used to be 
Giving up my memory of you 

Sometimes I tell myself that things are O.K. 
Another lie but it makes me feel better 
Never as old as I was today 
I'm gonna breakdown 

In American Pompeii 
In American Pompeii 
Break myself just to live this way 
Never as old, as I was today 
American Pompeii 

Try to imagine the best place I've been 
Can I go back again 
Open my eyes it just no longer exists 
I can't go back again 
I'm giving up my memory of what this used to be 
Giving up my memory of you
