Weyes Blood - Land of Broken Dreams lyrics

[Verse 1] As I stand up to the wall In fear to define history What lies right in front of me Can't feel as good as it used to be [Verse 2] And the dead, any American is found To feel at times blue What can you do When you're sedated And put through the failure Of some man's world [Chorus] Stand by to believe In the land of the free Whatever you want it to be [Verse 3] Desperate minds, desperate times To see the alter smashed over By this beast Hours spent, an infinite feast With the screen to devise Your fantasy [Verse 4] And when I walk, oh, how I walk To stand and be tall on this burial ground The faint sound The echo of what they first found Must stand on somewhere [Chorus] Stand by to believe In the land of the free Whatever you want it to be [Verse 5] So I didn't learn a thing in school About being one with star Chances are We're more far In the curse that divides The sun from you [Verse 6] My family My country and my school Have all left me dry To wonder why We were just born to buy then die And change nothing [Hook] In this time You must be strong Find your song Now In this time You must move on Don't fall behind Now
