apokoskies Lyrics

Hey man, take a look around

The world is burning down

And you're a fixture on the couch

Can you feign a fuck or sound

There's numbness in your eyes

And a dullness in your spine

Something, somewhere inside you died

Too long ago to tell

When I asked if you were well

You said

I've never really felt American

Ice cream, apple pie

Writing lyrics on her thighs

A song you've heard a million times

But you never recognize yourself in it

Did you finally find your place in the Black Parade

Did you pierce right thru the crowd

Rehearsed hellos for Gerard Way

Did you share how you arrived

With an unironic pride

How you closed your eyes

Heavy traffic on the turnpike

And did you finally feel American

Ice cream, apple pie

Writing lyrics on her thighs

A song you've heard a million times

But you never recognize yourself in it

My, my this American lie

Stole the Chevy

Drove it right into the lake off of Lakeview Drive

My, my this American lie

Find my body at the bottom of the lake off of Lakeview Drive

My, my what does it take to feel alive

Stealing cars, starting fights

You find new fears to hide behind

Then she cries, did you make Gardenia cry

A broken siren in the night on the side of Lakeview Drive

So Drive! Tonight I'm gonna feel ALIVE

Stealing cars and starting fights

Stealing cars and starting fights

Then she cries, did you make Gardenia cry

In broken English, once or twice

Now, it happens all the time

When you've never really felt

American, like ice cream, apple pie

Writing lyrics on her thighs

A song you've heard a million times

But you never recognize yourself in it

Today the TV brought, Americans

With their hands up in the sky

Watching eager bullets fly

A story heard a million times

But we never recognize ourselves in it

I want that field of light

And the radio at night

To hear Delilah speaking of

Making love

Under apocalyptic skies
