作词 : Benante, Bush, Ian
I try to imagine the best place 
I've beenCan 
I go back again?
Open my eyes, what was no longer exists
I can't go back again
I like to pretend that nothing has changed
And 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
In American 
PompeiiIn 
American Pompeii
Break myself just to live this way
Never as old as 
I was today
American Pompeii
Look in my eyes and see how sick 
I feelAbout 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
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
In American
