The Rift

from American Nightmare by City Of Vain

lyrics

Close my door to my beat up car
As swagger into a neighborhood bar
Waive my hands at the old bar keep
As I wipe the beer from my favriote seat
Familiar voice asks me "what you drinkin'?"
As he slides me down a tumbler and a bottle of Gin
First drink in years, I can't remember the last
As I close my mind to remember the past

Hold my head up high this time
And I know we never saw eye to eye
Think about where i've come and been
Like taking a right hook to the chin
Think about comming in last
How it all went by so fast
I look back on my past I say why?

Heard the TV and made me so mad
The famous complaining how they got it so bad
They say "I'm so depressed and sad"
While they've wasted opportunities that I never had
The media ask for my sympathy
For some rich ignorant fuck's warped reality
Makes me sick to see all the privilege
While millions struggle check to check just to pay their mortgage.

Hold my head up high this time
And I know we never saw eye to eye
Think about where i've come and been
Like taking a right hook to the chin
Think about comming in last
How it all went by so fast
I look back on my past I say why?
