American Castles Lyrics

I'm still looking for a way out
A way to tear myself apart, to save my failing heart
I watch my country fall to pieces
Feel my hands abandon me
My head is sick with propaganda
So I fill the streets

I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
Cause it's all I need to be anyone, anything
I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
If you can't see the change in me, then I will always be the same

Face to face I shed my skin
I push my parallel into place, to save my family name
Swing low, sweet ambulance come cure me
Hope's not an inch away from death
I'm tangled deep inside a memory, and it's all that I have left

I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
Cause it's all I need to be anyone, anything
I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
If you can't see the change in me, then I will always be the same

I'll always be the same...

I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
Cause it's all I need to be anyone, anything
I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
If you can't see the change in me, then I will always be the same

Goodbye Good Name

I'm still looking for a way out
A way to tear myself apart, to save my failing heart
I watch my country fall to pieces
Feel my hands abandon me
My head is sick with propaganda
So I fill the streets

I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
Cause it's all I need to be anyone, anything
I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
If you can't see the change in me, then I will always be the same

Face to face I shed my skin
I push my parallel into place, to save my family name
Swing low, sweet ambulance come cure me
Hope's not an inch away from death
I'm tangled deep inside a memory, and it's all that I have left

I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
Cause it's all I need to be anyone, anything
I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
If you can't see the change in me, then I will always be the same

I'll always be the same...

I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
Cause it's all I need to be anyone, anything
I will sell my soul, but I dare not sell my brain
If you can't see the change in me, then I will always be the same

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
