Los Angeles

Architecture of a picture perfect façade
Little did I know the moment was gone
The bay broke my heart, on the road again
Heading back home to Los Angeles
A fallen city with a permanent fixture of bliss
With a sky so dark from the touch of heaven’s kiss
I’ve been staring so long at this world’s abyss
I’ve forgot to locate the feelings that I missed

The angels ignited my wistful residence
I returned a reply in full resonance
Once again it looks like I’ve been led astray
I’d shoot a hole through the sky if it bled the day

Dusted off dreams ripe with decay
A snow globe that melted on a sunny day
A picturesque feeling that I’ve put away
As I took the train back home to L.A
A sign from the heavens that we let fade
Just like it was a Polaroid picture memory
I sang the blues to the tune of my misery
Threw in a groove and got this melody

I left the trees and the leaves for the sound of the sea
Got tired of the breeze and came back to the city
Measured my chances like the lives of a cat
I’m on my last one so there’s no going back
I found in you what I had always lacked
A sense of stability that I never had
I would’ve given you the world and that’s a fact
But it’s little too late now you blew your chance
You saw in me what scared you the most
A chance to settle down and become a ghost
I’ve always been so afraid of ending up alone
I’ve never embraced loneliness as my own
But love isn’t something that is set in stone
I gave up and then I came back home
