American Bruises 가사

American cities kissed by open sky while the years scrape at your skin Spending your whole life trying to erase the person you know you've been Holding on to every single breath Chased by nicotine Walking away from a future led in the pursuit of buying things Sometimes the lips don't need to move for the heart to make a desperate sound If I ‘m hellbound, come on light this body up and we'll burn it down Because you know a bruise only lasts long enough for the pain to pass Getting buried in the day to day Scared of how it feels Hoping someday that this town repays Everything it steals Holding on to every single breath Watching your friends get old Your scars can tell you about where you've been But not where you need to go Sometimes it takes giving up everything to see the things you really need the most
