The American dream
My childhood dream
What I've been told to expect
My whole entire life 

American dreams
Scream.
Many separate teams 
Tug-o-warring with
Dreams
Childhood dreams

Fading gleams
Glimmers of light
Blocked out by a fake black sun
Hanging on a string
Dreams; deferred 
It just can't be all a lie-
 
But,
The cake is a lie
The cakeis a lie
The cake is a lie
The cake is a lie.
