lyrics

all these smiling faces
come from different places
they're acting all sycophantic pragmatic intellectual
but it doesn't really matter if you're beautiful
you want to be looked at but not seen
the love of your life
better be ready to say goodbye
if you're seeking out cinematic, melodramatic, call it passionate
quell abandonment you're feeling all inadequate
just wanna be dreamt of in your dreams

you got me LA lonely, LA lonely

like orphans of the storm
all trying to redefine the norm
give it a go, you gotta captivate, ingratiate, so insatiable
better that real be sensational
we wanna be remembered forever
like my affectations
my inimitable imitations
while I'm dealing with the perennially ethereal, I want to ameliorate
with all the willful isolation I'll deteriorate
forgetting that we're nothing if not together

you got me LA lonely, LA lonely

slowly descending while blowing amendments
with ethics, integrity, prosperity, solidarity
how can you help out your friend when you're your own worst enemy?
slowing the mental quit smoking those petals
you wrote in potential, they want you to revel in feelings of rebel
not responsibility killing these feelings of lack
attacks on my pride with no place to hide
personification of honor shows me his back
I'm lost in Los Angeles, ambling, rambling
broken PTSD version of Rambo
more lonely, less casualties
no blood on my hands as I dance with fatality, fate handles me
but as that phrase is reused I'm ashamed to admit that it's just an excuse
the only thing that actually matters
is that which you actually do
so here is my response to questions from dad and mom
I'm barely working, still remaining calm
why I'm breaking down now
frustrating, blaming my pain on loved ones around now
cuz nothing motivates me or makes me proud now
graduated college, thinking I'd have more knowledge
with new answers more questions became more prominent
predominate depression, lonely thoughts I get caught in them well
I'm breaking out of my shell, exorcizing my demons
never fleeing this fleeting metropolitan hell
