about

America, the sweet siren. You entice us with your promises of love, abundance, and acceptance, then coerce us to do your bidding.
We yearn for your offerings, desperate for you to long for us as much as we long for you. But that is in vain, as we have always, ONLY,
been meant to do your bidding....

lyrics

"I just assumed I, was what you wanted / cause you surrounded me with everything i needed
I was confused by, all your attention / I thought that we were on our way to something special
I didn't mean to, be so aggressive / you just seemed so receptive to all my advances
So I assumed I, was what you wanted / and i moved forward with my plans to make it happen
you gave me so much hope / i thought i was the man
as you fed my ego / i melted in your hands
you saw deep into me / right past what i looked like
boosted my self esteem / and helped me come alive
( and I believed you) how could you be so cruel to me
" and when pent up anger manifests itself through desperation,
it creates an illusion of being wanted and needed...God bless the dead"
I must admit my infatuation / created something in my mind that wasn't real
i didn't get, my own desperation / had me caught up inside my head ( i wanted you)\
so every smile and, sign of attention / i would interpret to mean more than was intended
and i assumed i, was what you wanted / but when i spoke my truth you acted so offended
cause what i thought was hope / was really apathy
came clean with how i felt / you turned and laughed at me
and as you walked away / i heard the voices say
as long as we pretend / he'll be a fool again
(and i believed them) how could you make a fool of me"
