In The Shadow Of The Valley

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 night was 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

No 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

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

The one for giving up hope the on for the love that i serve

If i opened my heart then you'd be washed away

Down the bone-dry rivers that drain la

My nights are all sleepless so all through my day

I like to take shades of weariness all through la
