I claim I’m innocent but I don’t know myself
I flip the script then I change my lines
Born down here in American gothic
Spoon fed I didn’t know how to stop it
Can’t reach the top if there’s nothing there

Can I learn more? Gonna do more
Gonna be me without compromise

Born down here in American gothic
Spoon fed I didn’t know how to stop it
Let loose high and I fell like a comet
American Gothic

Wrote some of my old words
Up on the cyber walls
Now all they do is just follow me
Born down here in American gothic
Spoon fed I didn’t know how to stop it
As I become my distractions now

Can I learn more? Gonna do more
Can I be me without compromise?

Born down here in American gothic
Spoon fed I didn’t know how to stop it
Let loose high and I fell like a comet
American Gothic

Can I learn more? Gonna do more
Can I be me without compromise?
All my dreams makin me scream
Gonna be me without compromise

Born down here in American gothic
Spoon fed I didn’t know how to stop it
Let loose high and I fell like a comet
American Gothic
American Gothic
American Gothic
