get home from school

and walk through the door

so stressed from your day
you pass out on the floor

but its not long before youre reminded

why you hate going home living in a prison

where no one leaves you alone



tired of the yelling and being pushed around

being told your worhtless and letting everyone down

no escape from your nightmare

no escape from yourself

no one to turn to

no escape from this hell



american family, american dream

it doesnt exist, things arent what they seem

mommy's a slut and daddy's always drunk

and the bruises on your face never go untouched

american dream



remember your not alone, theres a way out

no room for fear, no time for doubt

dont let them tell you, youll never be any thing

dont believe their lies, because they dont mean a thing
