American Spirit

I go out, sinking into iron depths cold as the life ropes fall,

I breath in, forgetting 'bout the consequences with my cell phone on

Though there's love for free and bars and libraries I'd rather just stay home

Where you are indifferent as a time clock and glowing with the light switch off

I'm afraid I'd fall back in love

I could stand in your light for too long

And who I am would be gone

I'm afraid I'd fall back in love

I look down, my life in small white papers I'll only be a text right off
