In The Shadow Of The Valley - American Music Club

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 nights are all 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
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
I'm 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
One for giving up hope and the one for the love that I serve
If I opened my heart then you'd be washed away
Dawn the bone dry rivers that drain L A
My nights are all sleepless and all through my day
I like to take shades of weariness all through LA
