American Disillusion introduction

I share with you the story
Of my subtle susicide
Although it's melodramatic
Something in me died
Some call it growing up
Some call it giving in
Some only seek happiness
Some only play to win
But nothing really matters
It all just fades away
If every creature dies alone
Please stay with me today
I know there's still tomorrow
To turn this ship around
But if it proves too much for me
I'll meet you
Six feet underground
