I try to imagine the best place I¹ve been
   Can I go back again ?
   Open my eyes, what was no longer exists,
   I can¹t 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
   I¹d 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 O.K.
   Another lie but it makes me feel better
   Never as old as I was today
   I¹m gonna breakdown
  
   In American Pompeii
   In 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 feel
   About what you¹ve become
   Filthy and twisted like you never existed
   I know what you were
   Your beaty forgotten under mountains of schism
   I don¹t 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 O.K.
   Another lie but it makes me feel better
   Never as old as I was today
   I¹m gonna breakdown
  
   In American Pompeii
   In American Pompeii
   Break myself just to live this way
   Never as old, as I was today
   American Pompeii
  
   Try to imagine the best place I¹ve been
   Can I go back again
   Open my eyes it just no longer exists
   I can¹t go back again
   I¹m giving up my memory of what this used to be
   Giving up my memory of you
