[Verse 1]
Touch down in LA, I'ma need the pack
Hit the plug, call him up, I'm like, "Where you at?"
Next move, call you playing phone tag
Up, down, up, down, call me right back
Girl, you know that heaven's overrated
And the angels honestly hate it
God's strict, and he don't get faded
And he just can't fuck like Satan
Two-door with top laid back, let's go
I know you can't give up much more
Baby, come close and lose your halo
Go on, work it for the boy, yeah, let your horns show
A thirst for your love that I can't control
A pill on your tongue slides down your throat
I try but I can't resist, it's on and we can't stop
[Chorus]
Wasted away my serotonin to stay in toxic paradise, oh
I know that it's wrong but I just love feeling numb
I'll be your sacrifice
Hеre in toxic paradise
[Verse 2]
Hotel, 1 A.M. whеn I pulled up
See the "do not disturb" when the door shut
Turn the lights down low, pull the shades back
Inhale, exhale, try to relax
I'm the maelstrom that you created
I'm a monster and I can't escape it
Disgusting, the way that I crave it
Graceless and contaminated
[Chorus]
Wasted away my serotonin to stay in toxic paradise, oh
I know that it's wrong but I just love feeling numb
I'll be your sacrifice
Here in toxic paradise
[Bridge]
Exiting my body, I float through the ceiling
It hurts, but oddly I long for the feeling
I can't escape myself
Wish I was someone else
I'm scared that I'm losing my mind (Tear it down)
[Chorus]
Wasted away my serotonin to stay in toxic paradise, woah (Oh yeah, oh yeah, woah)
I know that it's wrong away but I just love feeling numb (Know it's wrong, feeling numb)
I'll be your sacrifice (A sacrifice)
Here in toxic paradise
Wasted serotonin to stay in toxic paradise, oh-ho
I know that it's wrong, but I just love feeling numb (Know it's wrong, feeling numb)
I'll be your sacrifice
Here in toxic paradise
Wasting away my serotonin to stay in toxic paradise, oh-ho
I know that it's wrong, but I just love feeling numb
I'll be your sacrifice
Here in toxic paradise
