I try to imagine the best place I've been
Can I go back again?
Open my eyes, what was no longer exists
I can't go back again
I'd like to pretend that nothing has changed
It never went too far
But it started to lose me like a four hour movie
I'd already seen
Holding onto my memory of
What this used to be
Holding onto my memory of you
Sometimes I tell myself that things are okay
Another lie, but it makes me feel better
Never as old as I was today
I'm gonna breakdown, breakdown
In American Pompeii
In American Pompeii
I break myself just to live this way
Never as old as I was today
American Pompeii
Look in my eyes, you'll see how sick I feel
About what you've become
Filthy and twisted like you never existed
I know what you were
Your beauty forgotten under mountains of schism
I don't want to climb
Giving up my memory of what this used to be
I'm giving up my memory of you
Sometimes I tell myself that things are okay
Another lie, but it makes me feel better
Never as old as I was today
I'm gonna breakdown, breakdown
In American Pompeii
In American Pompeii
I break myself just to live this way
Never as old as I was today
American Pompeii
Ah, yeah
In American Pompeii
In American Pompeii
I break myself just to live this way
Never as old as I was today
American Pompeii
Try to imagine the best place I've been
Can I go back again?
Open my eyes, what was no longer exists
I can't go back again
I'm giving up my memory of
What this used to be
Oh, I'm giving up my memory of you
