Anthrax - American Pompeii (with lyrics)

track no.8 of the stomp 442 album (1995)

I try to imagine the best place I've been
Can I go back again?
Open my eyes, what was no longer exists,
I can't go back again
I like to preted 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 o.k.
Another lie but it makes me feel better
Never as old as i was today
I'm gonna break down

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 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 o.k.
Another lie but it makes me feel better
Never as old as I was today
I'm 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 I've been
Can I go back again
Open my eyes it just no longer exists
I can't go back again
I'm giving up my memory of what this used to be
Giving up my memory of you

One of my alltime favorite Anthrax tunes. Definitely my favorite album, by far!

Reminds me of breakups when I was younger.

[manutd12us]

My favorite Anthrax album. I got it the day it came out. Reminds me of high school.

@WMsquared But your comments are from four months ago, so I suppose this is irrelevant.

Janspeed69 and littledebbie187, it my opinion that you are both really, really stupid.

[MrGeograves]

@Janspeed69 Don't ever label me as a retard or make a crack about my mental health again, Capiche? I should just wipe you all over the fucking place. I don't own a gun, and I don't respond well to your threats, you bastard. Because of your remark in order to denigrate me, you owe me an apology, capiche?

Nobody makes a crack about my mental health, because I will bury the next person who does. So you should shoot yourself in the face for humiliating me.
