American Beauty

Look closer at America
What do you see?
Pain reflected,
beauty seized?
Always searching for more
That has yet to be found
The lost seek now to be homeward bound

Look closer at suburbia
What do you see?
A hit and a miss,
Money being its bliss?
Competing for something
That shouldn't be there
The lost are saddened, they've been taught not to care

Look closer in you
What do you see?
A heart beat,
As the common defeat?
This unworthy life
Writhers you away
You are lost and lost you will stay

Look closer
Can't you even see?
I am scared to be me
