Walk around in a modern tragedy
All the zombies swaying casually
We could try, we could try, we could try to leave
But we built up a life in a fever dream
Playing people, plotting strategies
Bunch of angels lacking empathy
If a bridge isn't worth it, you burn it down
Lose your head just to wear the crown

They say this place is paradise calling
Sky full of stars that keep falling
It's all that you've ever wanted
(All you ever wanted)

All the lights in the city don't look so pretty
When you count all the people inside
Who all pray for a moment, hearts halfway to broken
Staring up at the Hollywood sign
We all sell ourselves
While we bide our time
Yeah, I know what they say, but I think they lied
What doesn't kill you might just make you lose your mind

At a party in the Hills just to show my face
Weavin' through a crowd of people that I hate
Heaven's never felt so far away
So far away

They say this place is paradise calling
Sky full of stars that keep falling
It's all that you've ever wanted
(All you ever wanted, whoa)

All the lights in the city don't look so pretty
When you count all the people inside
Who all pray for a moment, hearts halfway to broken
Staring up at the Hollywood sign
We all sell ourselves
While we bide our time
Yeah, I know what they say, but I think they lied (I think they lied)
What doesn't kill you might just make you lose your mind

What doesn't kill you might just make you lose your mind
(Whoa)
What doesn't kill you might just make you lose your mind
(Tired of Ca-Ca-California, tired of California)
