Modern American Beauty

Just wanna taste your modern American

I hold your gaze from far away
I wonder how long those eyes will stay
Blue as velvet
Dark as night
I've never felt this way for another guy

So I transform in confusion
Till death do we part
I'm lying
Alone in the dark
Get my own in the middle of the night
Dreaming that you're here

Why do you look that way at me?
I can't grab hold of reality
Oh you and your practicality
Look at what it's doing to me, to me

Just wanna taste your modern American

Watch your back as you leave the room
I follow you, my life consumed
Oh conniving obsession
Perfect little possession

So I transform in confusion
Till death do we part
I'm lying
Alone in the dark
Get my own in the middle of the night
Dreaming that you're here

Why do you look that way at me?
I can't grab hold of reality
Oh you and your practicality
Look at what it's doing to me, to me

Just wanna taste your modern American
