I gave up my cynicism I gave up my hard shell
|
I gave up everything that would cause you the least pain
|
I'm immodest as a child old before it's time
|
Why should I hide something I've no chance to see
|
My night was sleepless so all through my day
|
I took the next shade of weariness down to LA
|
|
I'm off like a shotgun out of your reach
|
My self-importance my mind-numbing haze
|
No I don't want to know about my life
|
No I don't want to know what I'm thinking or feeling
|
Ignorance is bliss but babe we won't stay that way
|
We'll escape heaven somehow down in LA
|
|
I can make your future easier to predict
|
Hot as a devil and cold as an addict
|
|
People usually just make me tired
|
The plague of always deserving something better
|
God save me from the rewards I deserve
|
The one for giving up hope the on for the love that I serve
|
If I opened my heart then you'd be washed away
|
Down the bone-dry rivers that drain LA
|
My nights are all sleepless so all through my day
|
I like to take shades of weariness all through LA
