Colour in the Clouds - Los Angeles lyrics

Clouds mixed with smog make a clever disguise. When this sun goes down will darkness mask this cities lies? It's hard to believe, but the darkness in my head is enough to swallow me We are parodies; statues of people once were and wish to be You are Los Angeles. You're a fake. This body's one of a million who refuse to fade away Laying still on a shattered green expanse, calling out to a hallow voice that gives no answer. But if my call was received I would be returned only a dismissal of my plea for a gentle reprieve. One true testament that would remind me that my sanity can remain intact at least for another day. The longer I wait, the further home seems from me. Even at only a few steps, I see a divide reminiscent of an ocean that endlessly beckons me in. My body takes hold of the Earth, constricting itself upon it's new companion, asking to stay held close for an eternity. Thoughts overlap due to a clouding, a clouding of my own doing. But under all this scattered rambling is a pain that is more real than anything I've ever known. I just seek a constant comfort that'll tie me down while my world throws me spinning. We all seek this warmth, some even spend their whole lives doing so. Clouded or not, my true compa** points towards it, but I've still yet to find it For far too long this body, that I hate to see when I look into the mirror, well it's been living life backwards - trapped in gla** and it's so unclear. Reality will stare back at us as we draw this future near. It looks us dead in the eye as we are, but we've only grown to fear We are parodies; statues of people once were You are Los Angeles. You're a fake. This body's one that you won't take from me
